Types of Plants – Ornamental Grasses

Ornamental Grasses thrive in open positions in full sun in the herbaceous border, as a specimen plant or in containers.

Care: Soil should hold moisture but be well drained and not too fertile. Do not deadhead as grasses can often look pretty during winter months and will add extra interest. Cut down to ground level in the spring to give room for the new growth. Propagate by division or seed.
