Why Home Gardeners Choose Ornamental Grass for Landscaping
Ornamental grass seed, or decorative grass seed, offers many advantages for home gardeners looking to enhance the look and feel of their yards. Aesthetically, these grasses offer beautiful, year-round color, from icy blues to brilliant reds. Ornamental grass is also more low-maintenance than other types of lawn grass seed; it requires less water and fertilizer and is adaptable to poor soil.

Keep the soil moist and warm (approximately 65-75 degrees F). After the danger of frost has passed, transplant the seedlings outdoors. Typical germination time is 7-35 days, depending on seed variety. Learn more with our ornamental grass planting instructions.
