Curling Ornamental Grass

Ornamental grasses are used in gardens for their low maintenance and wide selection of textures, sizes and color variations. The grasses grow in a range of forms, including spiky, upright or curled. The plumes produced by many grasses add fall and winter interest to landscapes.
