The cones are here

Ornamental grasses are still looking fabulous at the moment but other plants too, such as echinacea and eryngium are holding their shape well, even when their flowers have given up the ghost. So, don't be in a rush to cut everything back just to make your garden tidy. Your plants will be in much better shape if left to gracefully ebb away, not to mention providing the plant's footings, vital protection from frost damage and safeguarding your soil of unnecessary erosion. Last but by no means least, great food for wildlife also.
