Landscape Ornamental Grasses With heights ranging from under 1' to over 10', ornamental grasses are enjoying rapidly increasing popularity. Ornamental grasses can fit in any landscape and can make outstanding specimen plants when used individually . In addition to a wide range of heights and spreads, there is a variety of leaf sizes and colors. Leaf colors range from pale greens to bright blues and blood reds, with many types of both vertical and horizontal stripe patterns. Most of the ornamental grasses require full sun and will produce a wide variety of flowers, ranging from small, bottlebrush arrangements to large, showy plumes. Flower colors range from pale yellows and pinks to deep maroons. Many of the flower spikes last into the winter giving added landscape interest. Small Grasses Small clump forming grasses and grass- like plants such as mondo grass make excellent rockgarden plants or can be mass-planted as attractive groundcovers. They are good companions to spring- flowering bulbs or as border edging. Mid-Size Grasses 18 to 36” tall and make nice focal points in either perennial borders or annual bedding schemes. Varieties of Fountain Grass add height and interest. |
