Ornamental grasses to create an impact in your garden

You love your flower garden, and you have even tried your hand at growing your own garden. Now turn around your beds or containers by planting these beautiful ornamental grasses. They are an amazing plant that thrives in the wind and does not change after the end of the growing season. There are two types of ornamental grass: the cool season in the spring, when it grows cold, and then in the summer heat. And a tropical season that thrives better in warmer climates. There are annual grasses that need to be replanted every year, although sometimes they do in the winter in hot weather. Ornamental grasses grow up to five feet high. Most need full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight), but read the label to find out what to buy.

When choosing an annual ornamental grass, make sure you survive the winter in the USAD Hardy Zone (find yours here). Then dig a hole 2 to 3 times the width of the clay, but not too deep. If the roots rotate in the pot, place the sides of the garden ball into the hole with gloves in your hand. Fill the soil, water well. They are hardy plants when they are strong and dry, but they are watery. Also, cut down the perennial grass in early spring so that they do not get too upset.
