There can still be so much structure in the garden in winter, can’t there? I did consider this variety but I think it was out of stock when I was looking
Sorry it’s taken a while to,get back to you, Lavinia. Low angled and even winter light is conducive to out of seasons combinations like seed heads with grasses, which is one reason why I like it so much.

You’re so right, Cathy. It’s worth tracking down, the summer colouring reminds me of raspberry ripple ice cream.

What an inspired combination. Delightful! (Dreadful name for a plant though)

Hydrangeas and miscanthus are best friends🙂, these two are both dwarf forms. The name of the grass is ‘Little Kitten’ (much nicer!).

The miscanthus really shines behind, you have got the light just right Kate.

Winter light cast by a low angled sun is perfect for these fluffy plumes, here they were not quite backlit at the time the photo was taken.

Nice composition in that photo, Kate! Yes, gardens can still be beautiful in winter. I agree on the lighting in winter. Makes for some nice shots.
