Ornamental Grasses Questions
Are ornamental grasses good for coastal yards?+
Many ornamental grasses handle sandy soil, wind, and sun well, which makes them popular for Northeast Florida and coastal-style landscapes.
When should I cut back ornamental grasses?+
Most ornamental grasses are cut back in late winter before new spring growth emerges.
Do ornamental grasses spread?+
Some clump in place while others spread; ask about growth habit so you choose one that fits the space.
How do I care for ornamental grasses through the year?+
Most need little beyond a late-winter cutback before new growth, occasional water in dry spells, and division every few years if a clump opens up in the center.
Which ornamental grasses stay smaller for a bed?+
Several clumping grasses stay compact and tidy. Tell us your sun and the bed size and our team can match a grass that fits without taking over.
