Ornamental grasses add texture, contrast, color and year-round interest to the landscape. Just like other groups of landscape plants, ornamental grasses are a diverse group that expand the plant palette of designers. They come in a range of sizes from the dwarf hakone grass to the giant ravenna grass. There are golden or white variegated cultivars. Some provide shades of silver and blue. Others are tinged red.

Turfgrass professionals often struggle to maintain quality turf under healthy trees. Tree managers often have problems sharing limited water resources with turfgrass. A tree canopy filters light and actively growing turfgrasses use substantial amounts of water. Trees and turfgrasses can be managed to get the best from both, when we understand their respective needs.
