What is an Ornamental Grass?
Ornamental grasses are a group of grass plants that include tender perennials (grown as annuals), and perennials. These grass plants have been selected because they look great in the landscape. Most have an upright or vase shape, a few of the smaller varieties have a mound or flowing shape. Larger varieties can be used as screens or background. Medium varieties often make good accents or blend well in beds and borders. Small varieties often work as an edging or even in containers. Not only does the foliage of grasses look great, but the blooms are around for a long time.
