Ornamental Grasses

Add Color and Texture to Any Landscape with Ornamental Grasses

Add movement, texture, and year-round interest to your garden with our selection of ornamental grasses. From soft, flowing blades to bold, upright forms, these grasses bring depth and contrast that beautifully complement flowers and shrubs. Their natural hues—ranging from vibrant greens to silvery blues and warm golden tones—shift with the seasons, adding subtle yet striking color to the landscape.

Beyond their beauty, ornamental grasses are a smart, low-maintenance choice. Most are drought-tolerant, easy to grow, and well-suited to the Bay Area’s climate. They can help reduce water use, stabilize soil, and even provide habitat and shelter for beneficial wildlife—making them as practical as they are beautiful.
