- Description
We grow a wide assortment of ornamental grasses,
please see descriptions below
- Garden Performance
Grasses may be grown as a background or
centrepiece in your garden, by themselves,or in
combination with other plants. Most cultivars are
not suited to small containers. Most will not
survive our winters.
Once established, grasses can
be ignored, and are drought tolerant.
