Son has a large, year round wet area. This area is on the side of a slope (hill). Property size is 4/10 acre and is in a small rural town.
Need recommendations for a decorative grass that will grow in wet - damp areas and be next to maintenance free. Grass height - perhaps no more than 3 or 4 feet tall.
Grass has to be safe - no sharp leaves, non toxic, etc., - neighborhood kids .

Re: Decorative Grass - Need Recomendations
that is a hard find most of the grasses go between 6 and 10 foot tall when mature in the fall. all of them will need to be cut in the fall and regrow in the spring

Gets a little taller than 4 feet, but he might try bamboo. A cousin put it out in a wet spot at her place, and it is trying to take everything.
