Ornamental Grasses Add Instant Interest

grassesAutumn is in the air and this is a glorious season for ornamental grasses. Many of them are crowned with beautiful wispy blooms. These hardy, plants offer a tremendous variety of size, form, color, texture, even sound and movement and now is a perfect time to check them out.

An autumn breeze sets these graceful plants in motion to provide interest to the eye as well as a cooling sense that water must be nearby. The gentle movement creates another layer of interest in the garden.

Many grasses do well in low water use landscapes; most appreciate good drainage. Some grasses are evergreen, some rest in winter and all provide dramatic change throughout the seasons. We have many different options to view in both 4″ and gallon or larger sizes.

Grasses seem to look their best when planted with perennials or shrubs which contrast their fine texture and vertical line with broad leaves and horizontal lines.  Try planting with sages! Come and give the grasses a closer look.
