Regional Gardening, Best Ornamental Grasses, New England Gardening
Gardeners should not overlook ornamental grasses and foliage plants as they beautifully complement or contrast with perennial flowers, keep the interest flowing over a much longer period and add depth to your garden design. They are also quite versatile (edges, hedges, or screens), adaptable to diverse growing conditions, available in a fast-growing palette, and last but not least: they generally require little maintenance (no regular deadheading, staking, tidying, etc.).
Selecting the right ornamental grass might be daunting for New England gardeners. Suppose you are looking for beautiful, low-maintenance, and hardy plants that thrive in the New England region. In that case, you may want to consider these top-performing plants, which will create stunning effects, provide a fabulous backdrop for your flowering plants and bring movement and sound to your garden.
