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.
Ornamental grasses, like lawn grasses, are also classed as cool or warm-season. Cool season grasses begin new growth in fall or winter and bloom in spring or early summer, but go dormant or decline in appearance during the summer heat. Most ornamental grasses for the South are warm season growers.
