Ornamental Grass

Throughout the summer, ornamental grasses provide attractive, interesting foliage.

When autumn arrives, grasses are in their full glory with beautiful fall colors and plump seed heads. 

Ornamental grasses are versatile plants that come in many varieties; dwarf, arching and tall specimens.

All add drama to the garden.

Not only do these plants offer wonderful summer interest with the differing habits of their foliage,

they provide beautiful structure in the winter. There are a number of varieties that do well in our region,

tolerating our hot summer sun, clay soil and wet, cold winter weather.
