The first one is the Miscanthus sinensis 'Neue Hybriden', already mentioned in the post of August 8. It has already began to turn in green. By the end of the autumn the complete plant will assume a warm yellow color.
The Pennisetum - Persicaria (Polygonum) couple, also mentioned in the post of August 8, is just as beautiful as it was then.
The Miscanthus sinensis 'Ferner Osten', also mentioned there, assumes particularly beautiful colors. (For some other Miscanthus sports see the Bluestem Nurserey.)
In September starts to bloom the Stipa brachytricha as well – in my opinion one of the most attractive grasses.
And finally a composition of some smaller grasses. (The one with the red leaves is a Carex flagellifera, the small green one an Eragrostis spectabilis, while the long one a Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster'.)
With the exception of Carex, all of them can be also planted in relatively dry part-shadow.

Beautiful. I added you to my "follow" list.
Thank you really very much! How interesting, I have just spoken about you today. One of our neighbors came to help me in the garden. He's an American, born in New Jersey of Hungarian parents. He has worked a few years in Hungary, but now they decided to go back to the USA. While chatting with him about American everyday life, I told him that through the blog I had come to know you and through your blog some other Americans, and how much I loved the calm, ordered and nice way you lead your life.
Thank you for your visit and message, I was happy of it! - Kata
