Grasses provide multi-season interest, with striking foliage and ornamental seedheads.
Many have feathery plumes that make a welcome addition to cut flower arrangements. Grasses and perennial flowers are naturals together. Look at any wild meadow, and you'll likely find the two growing side by side. However, ornamental grasses differ from their wild cousins in a number of ways. First of all, ornamental grasses have been bred for a variety of foliage colors and forms, and many have very showy seedheads.
