Ornamental Grasses
Ornamental Grasses Add Sustainable Drama
Vivid designs often reserve a special garden area for the use of ornamental grasses and their not-too-distant grass cousins. As a low-maintenance player, the use of grasses or grass-like materials, such as sedges and rushes, brings in an impressive element of drama and intrigue. And with an abundant selection of annual and perennial grasses available, it is easy to find an appropriate match for your garden’s exposure, desired height and color theme.
Added benefits include drought tolerance, cold hardiness and seasonal interest. Selecting the right grass cultivar will present a contrasting backdrop in direct praise of its neighboring plant material. From tall and willowy to short and spike-like, the visual character and value of grasses always wins a "garden favorite" prize.
