Grasses in your garden
Few plants are as many-sided, carefree and dynamic as grasses. Besides these plants do flower and really can compete with flowering perennials.
Grasses create modern independent design that will liven up almost any garden. They really provide high style and need low just a little care.
The biggest misunderstanding about grasses is that they will invade your garden. In fact, most grasses sold for home gardening and landscape design are well-behaved and won’t be invasive.
Ornamental (or decorative) grasses are really magical because they constantly change landscape. They are lush green early in spring, and flower in summer. In the autumn, you will get grasses pluming and then they will change color to wheat, gold, flaming orange or copper.
The pictures of many front garden show how gorgeous grasses may be throughout the fall. And even in winter the wheaten-colored leafage of ornamental grasses still looks attractive.
No other garden plants are so easy to care for. All that you need to do is to cut down and clear away the previous year’s growth in late winter or early spring.
