Ornamental Grasses

Due to the time of year, our range of ornamental grasses is limited. We will have a wide range of grasses available in Spring/Summer. All our plants are grown outdoors in 100mm pots, ensuring they are hardy and well-adapted to natural conditions.

    Buy 1 for $15.00 / Buy 5 for $65.00

    Intriguing name for a plant. The name 'Bad River' to us was always the reason to grow this variety. It is slightly shorter with darker flower spikes than the original form. Flower panicles are held horizontally to the flower stem and appear like mini dragon flies above the foliage. It is a wonderful addition to our gravel garden, where it is combined with Ratibida 'Red Midget' and Agapanthus 'Poppin Purple'.

    Sporobolus wrightii

    Buy 1 for $12.00 / Buy 5 for $50.00

    A sculpturally interesting grass of architectural quality. Where Stipa gigantea can't be grown due to climatic difficulties, Sporobolus wrightii can fill the niche. A large grass (1.2-1.8m tall), the foliage is light grey/green from which soft feathery seed heads are produced in Summer. These 'feathers' change to a golden straw colour in late Summer and then to a bronze in Autumn. Best cut back in early Spring to allow the new growth to look fresh and clean. Native to Arizona, California, Texas and northern Mexico. Very drought tolerant but will look at its best with some irrigation. Will grow in all soil types in full sun.
