Ornamental Grasses are a versatile and essential component in landscape design contributing to the overall beauty and functionality of your garden.  Grasses and grass-like perennials offer a way to add texture and movement, as well as color, and at times year-round interest to your landscape.  In some situations, grasses are a solution to erosion and soil stabilization.  For instance, Sea Oats are an ecologically important native grass species in Florida that provide a natural habitat to many animals and insects, but they also stabilize and protect our dunes.  You don’t have to be at the beach to reap the benefits of grasses stabilizing power; ornamental grasses, liriope, and mondo all have vast, fibrous root systems that help control water flow and filtration in areas of your yard that may have standing water or wash out problems.
