Ornamental Grasses
Grass is the forgiveness of Nature - her constant Benediction ... Forests decay, harvests perish, flowers vanish, But grass is immortal. -- John J. Ingalls
"Grass is the hair of the earth" -- Karl Foerster
We have 160+ different varieties of ornamental grass in our gardens. The number of grass cultivars increase every time an interesting and unique cultivar is found that is hardy for zone 5a. I hope that you will find that ornamental grass adds a unique texture, form, color, and motion to your garden that cannot be added by any other plant.
If some caught your eye, it probably is available for sale at our on-line store! Check 'em out!
