Description
Perennial Ornamental Grasses
Ornamental grasses provide year-round form and coverage. They add height, body and interest and can be arranged as a natural fence and screen to section off areas of your garden. When you need to fill up a void or add plantings to an otherwise bare area, ornamental grasses may be a maintenance-free answer. There are several types of ornamental grasses--some are low-growing and others tower over 5 feet. Some ornamental grasses require full sun and some can thrive in partial shade. Blue oat grass (Helictotrichon spp.), Moor grass (Molinia spp.), fountain grass ((Pennisetum orientale), Japanese blood grass (Imperata cylindrica) and ribbon grass (Pharlaris arundinacea) are a few common ornamental perennial grasses.
Year after year, gardeners can count on their perennial plants emerging from their roots and growing into full form during the growing season. According to Dictionary.com, plants are classified as perennials if they have a life cycle that extends beyond two years. Many perennial plants live for many years from the same established root system.
