Ornamental grasses are grown as ornamental plants. Ornamental grass is used in landscape design the way you might use flowers, shrubs or trees. Ornamental grasses come in many different sizes, shapes and colors. The grasses can be brown, bluish, red, green, cream, and variegated. Almost all ornamental grasses are perennials, coming up in spring from the roots and go dormant in fall or winter. Some ornamental grasses species can be grown from seed.
Replacing lawn grass with a combination of ornamental grass and mulch can reduce yard maintenance requirements. If you mix ornamental grass with shrubs, trees and flowers or let it stand alone, you’ll want to apply mulch around ornamental grass. Ornamental grass, as you can see, is not meant to be mowed, is not meant to be uniform, not meant to be walked upon. These grasses can add wonderful dimension and texture to your garden!
