Caragh’s Garden Notebook

Silver Feather is one of those grasses that never disappoints. The plumes catch the light on an autumn morning in a way that’s genuinely hard to describe, you have to see it to appreciate it. Plant in groups for the best effect, cut back hard in late winter, and it will come back stronger every year. Brilliant value and a real garden workhorse.
