Mass plantings of grasses and strappy foliage plants add a great natural feel to garden spaces, and are a effective textural element to combine with perennial flowers and shrubs in our gardens. Grasses work well in both traditional gardens and contemporary settings, and are generally easy to grow and low maintenance. The key to success is choosing the right variety for your planting project as the plants all vary in size, growing requirements vigour and appearance. Below we have listed a range of species from Japan, America, New Zealand, as well as some of our own native species.
There are 4 products.
A versatile rush from South Africa that will grow in a surprising range of conditions. The tall foliage is particularly good all year round, and the new growth resembles bamboo. Good for structure amongst herbaceous plants.
This variety is particularly good in autumn when the seedheads elongate and stand above the foliage. Another tall variety for behind the border, best cut down to ground level every few years.
Lower growing miscanthus forming waist high foliage mounds with flower stems around chest high. A lovely plant for mass plantings with a graceful shape, more compact than other miscanthus varieties.
Perennial temperate grass with bamboo like foliage, wider bladed than miscanthus and more stout and rounded in form. Valuable for landscaping and mass planting. Native to Northern China, Manchura and Siberia, prefers a cooler position.
