Ornamental grass has become a focal point across many showcase gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London. Designers used elevated, tall grasses that sway in the British breeze rather than ordinary lawn grass. One garden, Baz Grainger’s “A Seed in Time,” included at least 21 species of grass in a single exhibit. Grass is described as relatively low-maintenance while adding color and large-scale texture. Lusher growth is emphasized, and tall, wispy grasses are presented as a lush backdrop for perennials. The plants are also noted for supporting wildlife by providing habitat and resources for local insects and birds.
"Grass (yes, really!) has become a focal point in many of the designed gardens at this year's showcase. But we're not talking about just ordinary grass - designers worked in elevated, or ornamental, tall grass that swayed in the British breeze, according to a report from the U.K.'s House & Garden."
"Baz Grainger's The Killik & Co "A Seed in Time" Garden showcased at least 21 species of grass in one exhibit - who knew there were so many types? What makes grass special is that it's relatively low-maintenance and adds a pop of color, and you can work in a wide variety that adds jumbo scale and texture to any garden."
"The lusher the grass, the better. Tall, wispy grasses and plants also provide a lush background for any perennials you plant - plus, they're better for wildlife gardens that provide interaction for local insects and birds."
