Ornamental grass help

Post by ENVY23 » June 22nd, 2015, 4:52 pm

Looking for some ornamental grass to go on either side of my driveway near the road. I was originally considering pampas grass, but the I've read it drops A LOT of seeds and I'm worried about it ending up in places I don't want it. Does anyone who has it consider this an issue? Also, any tips to keep it from getting too big? The tag on the plant at the nursery said 6-8ft high and 6-8ft wide, which will be fine, but I'm afraid it may get out of control. Does cutting it down(I can't burn it) to a foot tall or so every spring keep it from getting too tall/wide? Basically just looking for some first hand experience and if anyone who has it would plant it again. Any other large clump forming grasses I should look at, preferably with some sort of flowers or plumes? Thanks in advance!
