Ornamental Grasses

Ornamental grasses are indispensable - they provide contrast to more colourful plants, and move gracefully with the wind. They can be grown in a mixed border, or in a 'grassery' by themselves, and they look great in pots.

For more information on growing these see growing ornamental grasses.

Our Grasses are supplied in 1 litre pots.
