I think grasses are one of those things you grow into as a gardener. For me, it took a couple of years and then I suddenly realised their worth and beauty. They're a wonderful compliment to other plants, but you won't find many that aren't absolutely beautiful in their own right. Even carexes, which I know some people think are ugly and coarse, hold a certain charm. I counted how many different species of grass I had the other day...it was a worryingly high number...but here are some of my favourites, including Calamagrostis emodensis, Stipa tenuissima, Miscanthus malepartus and nepalensis and Calamagrostis brachytricha...
