Early Morning mix |
| Any early sunny morning, especially during autumn when dew can be expected, can result in the most magical of short lived but memorable effects. Its worth being up and about for!! This is the grass garden at RBG Kew in October. |

Evening light at RHS Wisley |
| If you miss the early morning performance, there is always the matinee as the sun sinks so the same backlit effect can been seen again. This time from the opposite direction to the mornings performance. |

Fountain grass magic |
| Any fountain grass or Pennisetum, of which Knoll has the National Collection, has the most amazing flower structure when seen close up. Made even more so when morning dew or frost seems to enlarge the flower size several times over. |

Miscanthus Undine |
| Most miscanthus will give this wonderful translucent effect when backlit - meaning when the sun is seen coming from behind the plants. Miscanthus Undine is though, without doubt a superb example of simple beauty. |

Pennisetum Fairy Tails |
| Launched by us at the 2008 Hampton Court this spectacular fountain grass is set to become a most useful and adaptable garden plant. Quick growing and easy, the distinctive flowerheads are visually stunning when seem against the sun. |

Winter Frost |
| A sharp frost on a still winters morning has the same crisp effect with the flowers clearly outlined against the morning sun, as seen here in our growing field in December. |
