Lots of Info about Ornamental Grasses
and Willows
If you would like to learn more about ornamental
grasses and / or willows, then you have come to
the right place!
Our goal is to present useful information to gardeners,
particularly those wanting to include drought tolerant
ornamental grasses, along with those of you who
live in moister climates and moister regions for
whom willows are an excellent choice.
We realize the importance of having at least one
picture of everyone of our plants and continually
add more images. I hope you enjoy looking at the
photos of ornamental grasses and willows as much
as I have enjoyed taking them. Perhaps you too will
be inspired to include some of our low maintenance
plants in your gardening projects.
In 2013 we have 106 ornamental grasses, 47 varieties
of willows and 20 perennials, 8 of which are sedums
for planting on green roofs. We also have a low
maintenace lawn seed which requires much less
water than the hungry and thirsty seed mixes that
have been used for many years.
If you are having a difficult time trying to decide
which ornamental grasses to choose for your garden,
a great place to start is with our Grass
Comparison Chart and / or the Landscape
Uses page. The latter is available for willows
as well. There we have all the grasses listed, with
brief information about each one. You can easily
compare them to each other for height, bloom time,
hardiness, drought tolerance, preferred conditions,
etc.
