What do you think of having ornamental grass in your yard?

that sounds really beautiful.i never heard of that before,but i would like to know more.how do you plant it,and where to get it.my yard can use some help lol.thanks for sharing.the butterfly bush sounds great,i get alot of birds in my yard.

That sounds so beautiful. I would if I could but I'm afraid not much of anything would grow here. Grass? I wish we had grass that was soft and felt good under your feet. We mainly have weeds and dirt. I'd love to see what a butterfly bush looks like. Does it look like a butterfly?

Back when I was growing up, I never remember having anything like this in our yard. We had a nice arrangemtn of Flowers and had a wonderful Garden. Only thing I remember is from time to time planting Grass seed out on the lawn so we would have Nice Green grass in the areas that the lawn had turned brown, or no grass was at due to too much walking thru, or from the weather. If I had a yard now instead of living in a Condo we are buying I am not sure if I would have this or not. I guess it would depend on how much yard I had, etc.

I took a good look at this and it's beautiful. The only concern I had was if this stuff bushes way out it may interfere with you geting in and out of your shed ???

Hi kgwat! I love ornamental grasses! I love grass! I've been known to go to the rural ditches and dig up a variety and plant it in my gardens. (shhh... don't tell the DNR about that, though!) I have no idea what some of them are even called. The way they grow and the tufts at the top just thrill me. Silly huh? Some grasses that I DO know I have.. Little Blue Stem Big Blue Stem Northern Oats FoxTail and some jointed reed grass. (I don't know that actual name of this, but we always called it "tinker Toy Grass" as we could pull the grass apart at the joints, and then put it back together again. Maybe someday I'll expand my garden to contain more commercially grown grasses. They are pretty, too!

Hi. I tend to love the kind of ornamental grass they use in "Japanese Gardens" this grass helps everything blend and look more authentic, historic and most beautiful...

I plan on getting some of the tall grasses. I have had my house for almost 2 yrs. When I got it, the yard and around the house was a jungle. It has taken time to cut the jungle down and get control of it. It keeps trying to grow back. I still have stumps that need to be dug up. I do have a place in the front yard on the side that I want to have some of the tall ornamental grasses to grow. My mom has a butterfly bush, they can get real big. They are also very pretty.

I love that pampas grass! I think it really looks beautiful, especially in the fall, and when they bend with the winds. I don't have any pampas, or other ornamental grasses. I do have the butterfly bush, and hummingbird vine (trumpet vine) and other things to attract the birds and butterflies.
