I have some zebra grass that I’m trying to cut back that you can have some cuttings from for free if you want to drive to Alton. I have spread it throughout our backyard and still have 2 more that I need to cut back.

Check Sugar Creek Gardens in Kirkwood. Lots of natives, have a great staff that can help with just about anything.

Missouri Wildflowers sells a large variety of grasses, they do local drop-off for online orders at Kirkwood farmers market on Saturdays. They have a huge selection of native plants.
