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.
Pampas grass is probably one of the most popular species of ornamental grasses. The species is a perennial, warm-season, evergreen grass which forms dense clumps of foliage, and the leaves have sharp razor-like edges. Leaves are from Â½ to 1 inch in width and can range from 1 to 4 feet in length. Plants (foliage and flowers) achieve a height of 4 to 6 feet with similar width. Flowers occur in August with large panicles 6 to 8 inches wide by up to 2 feet long and persist throughout the winter months.
