I will research 'Piedmont Prairies'- hadn't heard of them.<br />I must admit that the visual impact of this large scale perennial has the 'wow' factor for me .. and presumably for invertebrates too!<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03237472076391330187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071315363222503671.post-60191854467150125622011-09-22T01:44:51.974+00:002011-09-22T01:44:51.974+00:00Rob,

And I'm so glad that European garden designers have embraced the prairie aesthetic, too.<br /><br />I don't actually care about the aesthetic, but they make great wildlife habitats!<br /><br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657232418012801175noreply@blogger.com
