Ornamental grasses in your landscape.

Karl Forester

Ornamental Grasses are attractive landscape plants that require minimal maintenance and provide interest in the landscape for more than one season. Grasses are rapid growers that can remain undisturbed in the landscape for long periods of time or may be easily increased by dividing the clumps in the spring.

Ornamental Grasses are gaining in popularity all over the U.S. due to their undemanding nature and long lasting, year round beauty. There is nothing that adds such interesting forms, textures and movement to a garden, than with this diverse plant group. They can be planted along banks of ponds, incorporated into perennial gardens, grouped together, utilized as a ground cover along walkways, paths or on steep banks. They aren't fussy about soil requirements, are drought tolerant as well as insect and disease resistant.
