Ornamental Grasses for Landscaping

The selection of ornamental grasses for landscaping grows every year. Grasses can be used as a specimen plant in your perennial flower bed or are even better in large groupings and mass plantings.

Ornamental grasses are just a natural for that backyard "prairie theme". Plant your shorter grasses to edge your bed, use medium sized grasses to blend textures and add those imporant vertical lines to your bed. Save your tall ornamental grass for the back of your bed.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" This quote rings so true when it comes to landscaping. We see all those landscaping pictures in magazines and books. But I have a feeling that the vistors to backyard-landscape-ideas.com, have some great backyard pictures themselves. I would love to see them and I know visitors looking for landscape ideas would too. Click here to share and see other pictures.
