I would not balk at any grasses. Flowering or fruiting plants near doors can be problem with bees and birds. I would be more concerned about having a rock pest barrier buffer between the plantings and the structure. Just my opinion.

Do not click links, open attachments or take action unless you know the contents are safe] Dear All, The Worcester Art Museum is considering planting the following grasses a few feet away from the museum. I’ve researched the grasses a little to better understand if they would attract pests that would be of concern to the museum. Eragrostis Spectabilis (Purple Lovegrass) Calamagrostis x Acutiflora (Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass) The only concern I’ve come across is that Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass could be an attractive home for rodents. If you’re familiar with either of these grasses and know of any other concerns, I’d be so grateful to learn of your experience. Many thanks for your consideration, Warmly, Eliza -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MuseumPests" group.
