The winter garden may seem dreary, especially on cloudy days, but ornamental grasses continue to add interest.
I love to look out my window and see the showy flowers or seedheads sway in the wind or glisten in the morning with a light frost. By selecting different grasses, the blooming period can range from June to October.
Grasses usually require little care. In late winter or early spring before the grass begins to grow, cut off the dead foliage to within a few inches of the ground.
Some grasses grow best in full sun and others in partial shade. Many grasses prefer a moist, well-drained soil, but some will tolerate dryer conditions.
