Designing and Gardening Tips
 

Grasses are helpful for background accent, unifying textures and colors and for creating naturalistic soft-scapes. I especially love seeing the grass develop through the growing season. If you are still new to using grasses in your landscape try out some good hardy, sturdy ones such as:

  • Calamagrostis acutifolia 'Karl Foerster'
  • Erogrostis trichoides 'Sand Love Grass' - Native genus/species to our region
  • Festuca glauca- Blue Fescue
  • Miscanthus sinensis purpurescens, Miscanthus sinensis 'Strictus' and 'Mysterious Maiden'
  • Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' - Native genus/species to our region
  • Pancicum virgatum 'Heavy Metal' - Native genus/species to our region
  • Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln'

There are so many and yes, there are some that are wanderers to be cautious of (i.e.Phalaris -Ribbon Grass). Ask for help when selecting the right one for the right place.

Happy Gardening and Best Regards,
Irene
