Spotted these amazing grass swirling banks at Canary Wharf. They moved and swayed in the wind and were so closely planted that no weeds would stand a chance against them. They would be great in a small garden as a feature or covering the whole area, with a flowering plant such as Verbena bonariensis growing through. The other main benefit is that they are reasonably drought tolerant so would save on watering. Suitable grasses include Hakonechloa macra Alboaurea, Carex comans, Carex buchananii.
