Ornamental grasses are ideal in both residential and commercial landscape situations.  They require relatively low maintenance yet offer unique foliage in outdoor designs while complimenting shrubs and other perennials.  Grasses do well in full sun locations but there are varieties that will tolerate some shade.  Ranging in height from 12" to 14', they can be used as edging, groundcover or border.  When used as a singular specimen, they are an effective focal point in a landscape design.
