Ideal Grasses For Your Garden.
Question
Can You suggest some grasses for my garden?
Answer
Transform your garden into a mesmerising tapestry of colours and textures with a carefully selected array of ornamental grasses. From the striking stripes of Miscanthus Sinensis ‘Zebrinus’ to the delicate elegance of Briza Maxima, each grass brings its own unique charm to your landscape.
Miscanthus Sinensis ‘Zebrinus’ steals the spotlight with its captivating yellow horizontal stripes that adorn its foliage during the summer months. As autumn rolls in, this graceful grass surprises with the emergence of silky brown-pink flowers, adding an extra layer of beauty to your outdoor space.
For year-round structure and visual interest, look no further than Stipa Arundinacea. Despite its modest height of about 1m (3ft), this grass commands attention with its enduring form and the delightful bonus of autumn and winter hues. Whether standing proudly in the border or adorning a container, Stipa Arundinacea proves itself as a versatile and eye-catching specimen.
Hordeum Jubatum stands as a testament to nature’s artistry with its stunning display of silky, greyish panicles that sway in the early and mid-summer breeze. Watch in awe as the tips of these panicles take on a reddish or purple tinge, creating a sight of exquisite beauty. Best showcased in massed groups or as a charming border accent, Hordeum Jubatum adds a touch of elegance to any garden setting.
For those seeking a whimsical touch, Briza Maxima emerges as the perfect choice. This annual greater quaking grass thrives in cottage gardens and beneath the canopy of apple trees. Its slender stems, almost ethereal in their delicacy, play host to tiny heart-shaped flower-heads that dance in the gentle breeze. Come autumn, these flower-heads transition to a subtle beige hue, adding a soft, rustic charm to the landscape. With a modest height of 60cm (2ft), Briza Maxima effortlessly integrates into various garden designs, lending its unique allure to every corner.
Rounding out our selection is Miscanthus Sinensis Kleine Silberspinne Compact, a compact yet impactful addition to any small garden. This clump-forming grass boasts narrow, silvery leaves adorned with a striking white midrib. Its dark red-brown narrow fan-shaped flower plumes steal the show in summer, gradually fading to a shimmering silver as autumn approaches. Perfectly suited for smaller spaces, Miscanthus Sinensis Kleine Silberspinne Compact offers a touch of sophistication and grace to intimate garden settings.
With their diverse colours, textures, and forms, these ornamental grasses invite you to create a landscape brimming with visual delight and natural elegance. Whether
