Potted Ornamental Grasses

Stephen Orr, Art and Projects Editor for House & Garden magazine, shows how planting ornamental grasses in containers can provide a fresh and aesthetically pleasing accent for a patio or balcony. Since ornamental grasses are relatively hardy, they can survive less-than-perfect growing conditions and they require only minimal maintenance. Orr also shows how to divide ornamental grasses, and suggests varieties that work well in containers:

Featured Varieties:

• Miscanthus
• Blue fescue
• Bamboo (small or large varieties)
• Dark red fountain grass
• Carvex
• Blue oat grass
• Pampas grass
