A broad horticultural group of clumping grasses grown for foliage, flower plumes, winter structure, and movement in modern naturalistic gardens.
Description
Maiden grass is a classic ornamental grass, forming graceful arching clumps of slim variegated or solid green leaves topped by silvery-pink flower plumes that catch low autumn light.
Cultivation
Most ornamental grasses prefer full sun, average soil, and a single annual cutting in late winter before new growth. They are largely pest free and need little water once established.
Uses
Foundations of contemporary naturalistic design popularized by Piet Oudolf and others, ornamental grasses provide year-round structure, movement, and habitat for birds and beneficial insects.
