Did you know ??
Perennial Grasses give you great texture, form, color, and motion in the wind. They make a wonderful background for flowers and are outstanding for dramatic groupings in difficult, sunny areas. Birds love grasses for nesting and eating the seeds. Practically the only care they need is cutting them down once a year in late winter.
