With the popularity of ornamental grasses in the landscape increasing since the Victorian Era, it is a good idea to understand how these plants grow. This understanding will lead to better use of these plants and often avoid disappointment or frustration.
Grasses can be either clump forming or rhizome forming:
The clump forming grasses will grow in very nice, neat mounds or clumps. They tend to mix very well with other perennials and will not become invasive. They will increase in girth slowly over time.
The rhizome forming grasses spread by underground stems and can become very aggressive and invasive.
Before selecting a grass, be sure to understand how it grows so you won't be planting a future problem. All of the grasses we offer have positives that far outweigh any potential negatives.
