Ornamental perennial grasses - Easy and Ornamental Plants
Perennial grasses are often called ornamental grasses though not all perennial grasses fit into this billing.  However, many are quite lovely, and they all serve a purpose.  Whether it is to decorate a corner of your yard, or a corner of your vegetable garden, or as a lawn, these ubiquitous plants are sure to please.


Strengths And Weaknesses Of Pampas Grass
There are many kinds of grass that are suited for a variety of gardens.  One of the most popular types is the pampas grass.  This grass traces its origin from South American countries, where the climate is humid and where they get an adequate amount of sunlight.
Pampas grass is quite desirable for many gardeners and landscaping enthusiasts because of two things:
1. Its rich green texture; and
2. Its beautiful flowers


Lemon Grass: A Culinary Staple
One of the world's most beloved spices is lemon grass, a tall variety of grass that grows in the tropics, and famous for its lemony odor, lemony texture, and lemony taste, hence its name.  And since this spice traces its origins in the two latitudinal parallels, tropical countries have been the first to incorporate it in their native dishes. 


Ornamental Grass Is Not An Oxymoron
Tell me, what's the purpose of grasses for your garden?  Surely, they can't substitute for your centerpiece plants, right?  Though some grass types are remarkably beautiful, they're never distinct enough to command the focal point of your garden.  Indeed, landscape professionals and garden enthusiasts make use of grass to add texture and color to the garden.  The purpose of grass is supplementary in nature.  It seeks to reinforce the beauty that is expected to emanate from the focal plants in your area of green.
