Any grass-like plant that is grown in a landscape with perennials and shrubs can be considered an ornamental grass. Ornamental grasses can add intriguing color and texture to the landscape. Many ornamental grass species are increasing in popularity because of their low maintenance requirements and limited water use.
Carpet grass (Axonopus affinis) is a warm-season grass that is valuable for its ability to grow in difficult places, such as shady and boggy areas. Hardy in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 to 9, carpet grass spreads by creeping stolons. A carpet grass lawn can be established by planting seed or by sprigging. Low fertility and low tolerance to heavy traffic make this grass most suitable for low-maintenance areas of the landscape.
