Pretty in Plumes!

Ornamental grasses ... a truly versatile plant that deserves a place in the landscape. They are easy to grow, pest free and are available in a large variety of species.

Not only are they beautiful to look at and admire in spring and summer, but they add winter interest as well. Many have large white plumes or colorful seedheads that stand high above the dried foliage throughout winter. As an added bonus they also provide food for winter birds.

If you have already discovered the beautiful world of ornamental grasses by now you more than likely have fluffy plumes on your grasses. Why not bring the beauty inside? The plumes will last for years!

You can use grass plumes in wreaths, arrangements or simply put in a vase. If your plumes have not started drying yet, just cut the plumes to the desired length, bundle the stalks and hang them upside down to dry. You will be amazed how fast the plumes will puff out.

Ornamental grasses ... They add life, motion, interest and imagination into the garden - wouldn't you agree?
