Ornamental grasses bring movement, texture, and a natural elegance to any garden. Spring is the perfect time to plant them, giving their roots plenty of time to establish before the heat of summer. Whether you’re adding feathery Miscanthus, compact Blue Fescue, or the striking Red Fountain Grass, these versatile plants thrive in a variety of conditions and add year-round interest.
To get started, choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and position the grass at the same depth as it was in the container. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch to help retain moisture. Once established, ornamental grasses are low-maintenance and require minimal watering—making them a perfect addition to a sustainable landscape.
From creating a soft border along pathways to adding height and drama in flower beds, ornamental grasses can be used in countless ways to enhance your garden. Check back for more plant highlights and tips to keep your haven thriving!
