Sometimes you get the effect you were after and sometimes you don't.
In this case it is working out as anticipated.
A nice yellow 'Piedmont Gold' behind a curtain of Blue Dune Lyme Grass.
The color difference seems to draw you into the PG.

I love that color combination! It's so pretty!
I have a blue grass that I got from PeggyB. I wonder if it is the same one. I have forgotten the name and don't know if I wrote it down. Mine is in a pot sunken in the ground. I might have to dig it up and divide it so I can put some with a yellow hosta.

Invasive
As already indicated, Blue Dune Lyme Grass, while very nice, is very invasive. I pull out quite a bit of it every year but I seem to be able to keep it in check.
One thing I do keep telling myself, if it invasive, stay away from it.
However I never listen.
