Plant Type: Ornamental Grasses

Ornamental grasses are prized for their unique textures, graceful movement, and year-round interest in the garden. This diverse group includes true grasses and grass-like plants (such as sedges and rushes) that are grown for their aesthetic appeal rather than for lawns. They range in size from low-growing mounds to tall, architectural specimens, and their foliage can be green, blue, red, purple, or variegated. Many ornamental grasses produce attractive flower plumes or seed heads that persist into winter, adding structure and visual interest even in the colder months. They are generally low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and resistant to pests and diseases, making them a versatile and sustainable choice for modern landscapes.
