Ornamental Grasses – Add Effortless Elegance and Movement to Your Garden
Ornamental grasses are one of the most versatile and low-maintenance additions to any outdoor space. Whether you’re looking for gentle movement, striking texture, or year-round structure, these stunning plants deliver without demanding much in return.
From tall, swaying Miscanthus to low-growing, evergreen Carex, ornamental grasses provide a naturalistic look that blends seamlessly with shrubs, perennials, and seasonal flowers. They thrive in borders, patio pots, gravel gardens, and contemporary landscapes, offering a relaxed and stylish alternative to traditional bedding plants.
Why Grow Ornamental Grasses?
Many varieties are drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and require minimal pruning. From fresh spring growth to autumn colour and winter seed heads, grasses look beautiful all year round.
Create a soft, flowing effect in the breeze or add bold, structured focal points. Plus, birds love the seed heads, while the dense foliage provides shelter for insects. Grasses make wonderful companions to flowering plants or stand out beautifully on their own.
Caring for Ornamental Grasses
One of the best things about ornamental grasses is how little care they need. They thrive in free-draining soil and full sun, though some varieties tolerate shade. Then, once established, most grasses are drought-tolerant and only need occasional watering in dry spells.
For pruning, deciduous varieties can be cut back in late winter to encourage fresh new growth in spring. Evergreen types need only a light tidy-up.
A slow-release fertiliser can be applied in spring to give them a boost, but most grasses thrive on neglect.
