The Best Ornamental Grasses to Trim Your Landscaping
As their name implies, the warm season grasses flourish during warmer climates. They will retain their beauty during high temperatures with little to no moisture. These grasses will begin to show growth once the ground temperature becomes stable and warm. Warm season grasses do not require the type of division that cool season grasses do. Several popular warm season grasses include:
Northern Sea Oats
Japanese Silver Grass
Hardy Pampas Grass
Perennial Fountain Grass
Switch Grass
Prairie Cord Grass
Whether you choose cool or warm season grasses, remember to look for their growth habits. Certain species of grasses are great clumped together forming a running grass. This type of grass grows excellent in neat mounds. They accent other perennials and are not invasive. Understanding how the different species of grasses grow is very important in choosing the best ornamental grasses to accent your landscaping project. You may prefer the look of one grass and plant it only to find out later that it has overtaken your landscaping requiring a great deal of work to cut back on your part.
