Grasses
| Feather Reed Grass ‘Calamogrostis’ Sun or light shade. Plumes late summer into Fall. Upright narrow clump with fine texture. Height 2 to 4 feet. |
| Northern sea Oats ‘Chasmanthium Latifolium’ The Grass 'Northern Sea Oats', Chasmanthium latifolium, is upright and arching. It is treasured for its showy, dropping flowers and slender, bamboo-like foliage that changes from green, to copper, to rich brown. It self-sows freely; deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings next season. Magnificent for winter contrast, it flourishes in containers or even in a shady, damp site -- including coastal areas. Pest and disease free. Mature height 2-3 feet. |
| Hakonechloa Macra ‘Aureola’ Japanese Forest Grass makes an outstanding bright accent in the lightly shaded garden. Growing slowly to 2 ’ high and 3’ wide, the elegantly arching blades are striped in brilliant green and gold tones. This exceptional ornamental grass performs best in a moist soil. It is most at home in USDA cold hardiness zones 5-9. |
| Blue Oat Grass ‘Helictotrichon’ Graceful fountains of colorful bright blue-gray blades form neat ornamental clumps that combine well with other grasses. Reliable and attractive accent, specimen, perfect for rock gardens. Evergreen. Full sun. Moderate grower to 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. |
| Japanese Blood Grass ‘Imperata Cylindrica’ A great red tipped upright ornamental grass that becomes increasingly red as the season progresses. Becomes blood red by fall. It is useful in borders, rock gardens, containers or as a colorful accent. Foliage is green with red tips and looks best when light shines through it. Plant in masses or among rocks. Height 18’’ Spread 36’’ |
| Maiden Grass ‘Miscanthus’ An arching, graceful grass that forms dense clumps of green or variegated foliage. This grass is used in the landscape as a specimen, screen or a nice mass of textured foliage. Also looks great near a pond! Maiden Grass requires a location in the landscape that receives full sun, but will tolerate some shade. Height 36’’- 48’’ |
| Fountain Grass ‘Pennisetum’ This is a warm-season grass offers three-season interest. It makes a vibrant, flowing fountain of fine -textured leaves, dark green in summer and warm apricot, almond, or orange in fall, gradually bleaching to pale tan. Flowers midsummer with stems of fluffy foxtail-like spikes spilling outward like a fountain. Full sun/Part shade, does best in moist, well-drained soil. (3-4 ft. tall). |
