The collection includes a mix of at least 6 different hardy ornamental grass varieties. The specific varieties are chosen by the nursery for their suitability and value.
Yes, ornamental grasses can be grown in pots, provided the containers have good drainage holes and are large enough to accommodate the mature plant size. Use a well-draining compost.
These hardy grasses can be planted year-round, but spring and autumn are generally ideal times for establishment. Ensure they are watered well regardless of when planted.
Mature heights vary depending on the specific varieties included in the mix. Generally, ornamental grasses offer a range of heights, contributing to a layered effect in the garden.
Ornamental grasses generally require very little feeding. A light mulch in spring is usually sufficient. Over-fertilizing can lead to weak growth.
It is best to leave the foliage standing throughout winter. It provides valuable structure and visual interest, and offers shelter for beneficial insects and small wildlife.
Cut back the old, dead foliage in late winter or early spring, just before the new growth starts to emerge. This tidies the plant and encourages fresh growth for the season.
Ensure the plants have been watered thoroughly immediately after planting and during the first few dry spells. Check that the soil drains well; waterlogged soil can also cause wilting.
Ensure plants are in an appropriate location (sun or light shade) and have adequate space to reach their mature size. Pruning at the correct time (late winter/early spring) encourages healthy new growth.
This can be a sign of overwatering or poor drainage. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and ensure the planting site has good drainage.
