Elevate your garden with the beauty and texture of the Organic Ornamental Grasses Collection. This thoughtfully curated collection includes four stunning varieties: Miscanthus ‘Ferner Osten’, Miscanthus ‘Malepartus’, Pennisetum ‘Red Head’, and Molinia ‘Dauerstrahl’. These hardy, eco-friendly grasses add movement, drama, and seasonal interest to your landscape, with each variety offering its unique charm.
What’s Included:
- Miscanthus ‘Ferner Osten’: Known for its tall, arching green foliage that transforms into vibrant red tones in autumn, this grass reaches up to 1.5 meters in height. Its feathery plumes provide a striking contrast to other plants, offering visual appeal in any garden or container.
- Miscanthus ‘Malepartus’: This variety is loved for its graceful, upright growth and attractive silvery-pink flowerheads that mature into soft, coppery tones. Reaching about 1.2 meters tall, it creates an elegant presence in borders or as a standalone accent.
- Pennisetum ‘Red Head’: With its bold, red-tipped flower spikes, this variety adds a splash of color to your garden. The graceful, arching form grows to about 80cm, making it perfect for smaller spaces or containers.
- Molinia ‘Dauerstrahl’: A standout with its finely textured, arching green leaves, this perennial grass produces golden-yellow plumes in late summer that continue to provide visual interest throughout the winter months. It grows to about 1 meter tall and thrives in damp, well-drained soils.
Care Tips:
- Light: All grasses in this collection prefer full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and flower production.
- Watering: While established grasses are relatively drought-tolerant, they will benefit from regular watering, especially in the first growing season. Ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid waterlogging.
- Soil: These grasses thrive in well-drained, fertile soils. If planting in containers, ensure good drainage and use a balanced, organic compost.
- Pruning: Cut back the old foliage in late winter or early spring to allow fresh growth. This also helps maintain the shape and encourages new shoots.
- Feeding: Light feeding in early spring with an organic fertilizer can promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
