Architectural and perfect for adding texture and movement to your late summer and autumn borders, beds and containers, these three grasses offer attractive, tactile foliage and plumes of airy blooms. Well-suited for creating a tranquil, sensory garden, the foliage will rustle and sway in the breeze, bringing with them a sense of calm and relaxation. They are all excellent as part of fresh and dried flower arrangements too, adding a textural element to displays in vases. Your collection includes; Stipa tenuissima 'Ponytails' - More commonly known as Mexican Feather Grass, semi-evergreen wispy foliage holds pale yellow blooms. Height and spread 60cm, Miscanthus sinensis 'Morning Light' - Strong stems hold airy plumes of tassel-like, silvery-red flowers. The magnificent foliage turns to shades of copper in autumn. Height 1.8m. Spread 1.2m, Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' - Graceful arching stems hold purple-tinged flowers in summer above narrow, long green leaves with turn yellow in autumn. Height and spread 1m. Mixed collection of hardy and half-hardy perennial grasses.
