I am getting mixed info on tiger grass - maybe someone else can give me their opinion!

The tag that comes with tiger grass advertises it as being nice around a pool - I have had this opinion backed up by one woman who worked at a nursery. However, at that same nursery, when I came back later, another woman said that it might not be a good idea because of the blooms/fuzzles that tiger grass makes!

So, can anyone say, do those blooms/fuzzles get very furry and drop excessively into the pool? Or is it not something that's too much of a pain?

Thanks!

i feel you would be better off not having any grass around the pool, unless you can create a cooch type lawn that is kept maniucured, and why spend all that ime manicuring when you could be enjoying the pool?

As long as it is planted so that people aren't brushing past it too much I can't see a problem. It has large leaves that are easy to 'fish out' if they fall into the pool and doesn't have invasive roots that would cause damage.
