Classic Ornamental Grass Collection
-
In this wonderful selection, you’ll receive:
- 1 Miscanthus sinensis ‘Yaka Dance’ Plant
- 1 Stipa tenuissima Plant
- 1 Carex petriei 'Milk Chocolate®' Plant
- Beautiful gardens don’t have to revolve around flowers, sometimes foliage can be just as striking – especially with grasses like these. In our Classic Ornamental Grass Collection, we’ve curated a pick of stunning plants, all offering something slightly different.
- Miscanthus sinensis ‘Yaka Dance’ features lovely green leaves with a creamy central midrib, the combination of which gives the plant a distinctly silvery sheen. Add to that the wispy late summer flower panicles and you’re onto a real winner.
- Stipa tenuissima (also known as Mexican feather grass) boasts delicate, narrow leaves and a sea of gossamer flowers during the summer. Oh, and it’s also a recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Bosh.
- Carex petriei 'Milk Chocolate®' dazzles with its decadent copper and cocoa shades, sweetening the garden wherever it’s placed. The arcing foliage of this sedge looks utterly fantastic when interplanted with the greens and creams of the two plants above.
- These plants aren’t just great to look at, either. Once planted, you’ll be able to enjoy the sound of wind gently whistling through the blades, whilst the textured foliage will tempt you to trail your hand through as you take a mindful moment between life’s busy tasks.
