Ornamental Grasses

Ornamental grasses make exceptional garden plants. They are vigorous growers, require little care, and add color and texture to your landscape. They are often used as groundcovers, erosion control, and specimen plants. Our top-rated ornamental grasses, according to customers, are: 

• Pink Muhly Grass: Delivering a rich pink color, Pink Muhly Grass is a professional landscapers’ preferred ornamental grass. You’ll often see it in desirable neighborhoods. Our customers give this uniquely hued grass a 4.8 rating out of 5.
• Adagio Maiden Grass: This grass is an excellent choice for gardeners searching for year-round interest. It sports silvery, spear-like leaves in the later winter and spring and coppery tassels that turn into feathery plumes in the summer. The plumes last through winter until the cycle starts again. Adagio Maiden Grass is rated 4.9 out of 5 by our customers.
• White Cloud Muhly Grass: This ornamental grass is ideal for gardeners seeking simplicity. It can be planted in any condition and tolerates poor soil. It can even withstand heat, humidity, drought, and salt, and you don’t have to worry about pests. Our customers rated White Cloudy Muhly Grass a 4.8 out of 5.

Many ornamental grasses are drought-tolerant, but confirm that the species you’re interested in buying meets your needs prior to purchase. Pampas Grass, Fountain Grass, Pink Muhly Grass and Maiden Grass are all drought-tolerant.

While many ornamental grasses prefer full sun, there are some varieties that can grow well in full or partial shade, including Japanese Sedge, Liriope and Shenandoah Switchgrass.

In most cases, the best companion plants for ornamental grasses are those that can tolerate full sun. We recommend you pair ornamental grass with flowering shrubs, evergreen shrubs and lavender plants or other perennials.
