Ornamental grasses

Ornamental grasses bring movement and structure to the garden. Evergreen types such as Japanese sedge, lilyturf and blue fescue keep their leaves in winter. Carex and Liriope also grow in partial shade and work well as edging along a path. Blue fescue and feather grass want sun and free-draining soil, for example in a gravel garden. Fountain grass and Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' produce plumes in late summer that stay standing into winter.

For every variety you choose the number of plants yourself. For an edge or a group, enter the area and the page works out per m² how many grasses you need. We turn that number into the best-value combination of packs. Leave the plumes of deciduous grasses standing over winter and cut them back in early spring.

Ornamental grasses combine well with flowering perennials such as salvia and coneflower. To keep the soil in between covered, take a look at our ground cover plants.

Frequently asked questions

Which ornamental grasses stay green in winter?
Japanese sedge (Carex morrowii), lilyturf (Liriope muscari) and blue fescue (Festuca glauca) keep their leaves in winter. Fountain grass and feather reed grass change colour in autumn, but their plumes stay standing into winter.
Which ornamental grass grows in shade?
Japanese sedge and lilyturf grow well in partial shade and also tolerate shade. They are suitable as edging under trees and along paths. Feather grass, blue fescue and fountain grass, on the other hand, need sun.
When should you cut back ornamental grasses?
Deciduous grasses such as fountain grass and feather reed grass are cut back in early spring, before the new leaves appear. Evergreen grasses do not need cutting back. Just remove dead leaves now and then.
How many ornamental grasses do you need per m²?
That depends on how large a variety grows. Low grasses such as blue fescue go closer together than tall ones such as feather reed grass. On the product page you enter the area and see how many plants you need.
