Ornamental Grasses
Ornamental Grasses are one of the most versatile plants for any landscape. Sophisticated and dramatic or informal and understated, they bring great richness of texture, variety, and beauty to enhance and define other plantings.
Easy-to-grow grasses add interest to a landscape in every season. Grass plants constantly change throughout the year. Each season offers new eye-catching features: from spring's new green growth, to summer seed heads and rich autumn foliage tones, to the architecture of its winter forms. Ornamental grasses are an essential part of all landscape styles.
If the species you want is not listed, or displays as "out of stock" send us an e-mail or give us a call. We'll let you know projected availability, or discuss contract growing the plants you need.
Please note: We are currently working to engage an "Add to Shopping Cart" feature to this site. We know how important this is and how helpful it will be. We are also very excited about the progress being made and are appreciative of your patience. In the meantime, please email us with any orders you wish placed.
