Not all of Nature's Masterpieces are flowers.

The Ornamental Grasses bring great richness of texture, variety, and beauty to set off your finest flowers. These are the darlings of the garden designers, but they're easy to use, and easy to grow.

Another reason Grasses add such interest to a garden is the way they change with the seasons. They don't disappear; instead they add all new interest.

For example, the photo at right shows a garden with the last of some lavender bloom just behind the chair on the right, and Fountain Grass Karley Rose (one of the most popular Ornamental Grasses) directly behind the chair. That grass clump had big purplish plumes waving in the wind a few months before this was taken, but now, during fall, it still adds interest. The purplish plumes are now brown but still full and decorative. In fact, they'd be great in a dried arrangement for the winter.
