ORNAMENTAL GRASSES
Add Movement, Texture & Structure to Your Garden
Ornamental grasses bring a distinctive combination of movement, texture and structure to garden design.
​
From fine, delicate foliage to bold architectural forms, grasses can soften hard landscaping, define garden edges, fill planting gaps and create a relaxed sense of movement. Many varieties also produce attractive flowers or seed heads, adding seasonal interest to the landscape.
​
At Doonan Valley Garden Centre, our large range of ornamental grasses and grass-like plants includes varieties for different garden styles, spaces and growing conditions.
MOVEMENT & TEXTURE
Add flowing foliage and natural movement that brings texture and visual interest to the garden.
VERSATILE PLANTING
Use grasses for borders, feature planting, screening, mass planting, pathways and pots.
YEAR-ROUND STRUCTURE
Create lasting form and garden structure with foliage that continues to provide interest beyond flowering periods.
LOW-MAINTENANCE APPEAL
Many grasses require relatively little ongoing care once established in suitable growing conditions.
