You will not rest on your laurels until your garden has been completely tackled and arranged the way you want it! We like that kind of ambition. From the big picture to the smallest details, you shape your personal paradise.

And that’s your right! Because why go out of your way to make your yard look exactly like something you’ve seen in a magazine? Once your garden is completely finished, you want it to radiate your identity and not someone else’s! So you decide which vegetation will appear in your flowerbeds and which colors will have a prominent role in propagating your style. The possibilities in this area are truly endless.

Because in addition to marigolds, roses and orchids, there are many other ways to fill up your borders. For example, you can add various beautiful ornamental grasses to create a beautiful whole! Choose from one or more varieties, which will make your garden even more beautiful. Maybe you prefer a calm look or you just want it to be nice and busy. That is of course entirely up to you! But in order to come to a decision, it is nice to know something about the different types. You can read more about that below.

Low ornamental grasses
It makes sense to go for low ornamental vegetation when you have flowers and plants that deserve all the attention. You then use the ornamental grasses to let the whole come together nicely. And what’s more, your borders won’t get too crowded because of this low planting. Popular varieties include Irish heather, scaly male fern, and hedgehog coneflower.

Tall ornamental grasses
Where tall trees catch a lot of wind, tall ornamental grasses bring a lot of butterflies and bees to your garden! For example, thanks to larkspur, which, thanks to its considerable length, does require support. Yarrow grows to a maximum height of 40 cm but survives the harshest winters on its own. It used to be the basis for beer, where hops are now used. And beware of foxgloves! Yes, the pink flowers are beautiful and the leaves of this flower stay green all winter. But the plant is poisonous. Then you know that.

What should I pay attention to?
There are certain things that you should keep in mind when making your choice. Namely:

Average length: how tall does the plant or flower grow and does it not overshadow the rest?
Soil: does your flower bed have the type of soil in which the ornamental grass flourishes best?
Circumstances: does your ornamental grass need a lot or little light?
Care: how much maintenance does your ornamental grass need?
