Ornamental Grass

Link to picture of grasses?

9 years ago

Does anyone know a link where I can see what kind of grasses we can grow? We have 7 acres between Nashville and Chattanooga. We would like to plant quite a bit of grass in different locations for different looks. Tall and bushy in some places and maybe flowering in others. I think we are zone 7.
Thank You

Are you interested in Ornamental or Native grasses. I find looking at online nutseries helpful. Santa rosa Gardens, Plant Delights. Bluestem nurseries High Country Gardens. Prairie Nursery. If you google "ornamental Grasses" you pull up all sort of articles by Universities and nurseries. Google Native Grasses and the same thing,

I am using more and more sedges under my trees. I think they were always there before I built my house but the construction beat them back and they ar just now returning. I have a no water, no mow policy because I am just a bit lazy so I like the native grasses and do not have a lawn.
