Looking to add movement, texture, and easy beauty to your landscape?
Ornamental grasses are a fantastic low-maintenance option! From tall and wispy to compact and colorful, they’re perfect for adding height, volume, or soft borders to flower beds. Whether your garden gets sun or shade, we’ve got great choices for every spot.
Sun-loving grasses:
For a pop of vibrant color, plant Pink Muhly, whose green wispy blades grow fluffy pink plumes that look like cotton candy! It will grow up to 3’ tall and 3’ wide. Different textures add just as much dimension and visual interest as color. Mexican Feather Grass has super-thin, hair-like blades that dance in the wind, and add an airy, delicate, texture to your landscape. It can grow up to 3’ tall and wide and is great for mass plantings. The fluffy plumes of the golden feathers atop Dwarf Hameln soften up any area, and if you have a large space to fill, Pampas Grass commands attention with its 6′ by 6′ size and stunning white plumes.
Shade-loving grasses:
You can easily brighten up a shady bed with Everillo Carex, whose lime green foliage grows 1’ high by 2’ wide. The wiry, blue-grey blades of Blue Fescue add color and texture, and Mondo or dwarf mondo grass is perfect for deep shade.
