Ornamental grasses, which can handle both drought and wet conditions, are enjoying a burst of increased popularity as accent plants, ground
covers, screens, and border edgings. Many ornamental grasses produce attractive flowers that will gracefully sway with the wind and provide textural
interest to your garden.
Grasses can be either clump-forming or rhizome-forming "running" grass. The clump-forming grasses will grow in very nice, neat mounds or clumps
that mix very well with other perennials and will not become invasive. While rhizome-forming grasses spread by underground stems and make excellent
ground covers, erosion control plants, and dense cover plantings that resist the invasion of weeds, they can become very aggressive and invasive! Their
place may not be in a well-tended perennial border. Before selecting an ornamental grass be sure to understand how it grows so you won't be
planting a future problem. Just ask the garden staff at Reds—we can help!
