Overdam Reed Grass

Common name:Overdam Reed Grass
Botanical name:Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Overdam'

Overdam is a wonderful ornamental grass for small spaces. It has an upright and slightly arching habit, with clumps 18 to 24 inches tall, topped by oaty plumes up to 4 feet. Blades are green with a cream to yellow margin. Plumes are oat-like, emerging reddish brown in late spring, and turning golden to buff in the fall.

Pacific, Round, or Yellow Stonecrop

Common name:Pacific, Round, or Yellow Stonecrop
Botanical name:Sedum spathulifolium

This species of sedum is quite low, usually under 4 inches. Leaves are somewhat rounded, thick and fleshy with a unusual white powdery coating which lends a white to grey-green appearance. In early summer, they produce flat-topped clusters of yellow flowers. In autumn, leaves often turn reddish to purplish. In fact, this plants foliage seems to change color constantly all year round. They are particularly well suited for mixing among Sempervivums and other low stonecrops in the rockery, front of the perennial border or alpine troughs.

Water Saving Tip:

Apply as little fertilizer as possible.

If you use fertilizer make sure it stays on the landscape, and carefully water it in so there is NO runoff.
