32 Ornamental grasses: music in movement

Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold'

Ornamental grasses:

music in movement

With their striking foliage, ornamental grasses add texture and movement
to any garden setting. From several feet tall to a few inches off the ground,
these hardy, low-maintenance perennials seek out the drama! From solid green
to variegated patterns, rich purple and fantastic burgundy, gorgeous autumn
colours to feathery plumes dancing in a summer’s breeze… These are supremely
versatile plants! Spectacular in massed plantings and centrepiece wonders
in container arrangements. Some ornamental grasses prefer the sun, and others
thrive in the shade. There are so many plants to choose from, you are sure

to fall in love with at least one of them.
