GROWING GUIDES
Everything you need to grow with confidence.
Expert advice on choosing, planting, caring for, and designing with ornamental grasses — straight from the Grass Journal.
Whether you're picking your first grass or planning a full landscape, these guides walk you through the decisions that actually matter — what to plant, when to cut it back, and how to design with it once it's in the ground.
Planting Tips
Get it right from day one — depth, spacing, and watering technique that actually works.
Best Grasses for Privacy & Screening
Plant for coverage that gets better every season, not a maintenance headache.
Best Grasses for Containers
Compact, well-behaved varieties picked for real container performance.
When to Cut Back Grasses
Timing that depends on the type of grass you have — get it right to protect winter structure.
Low Water Grasses
Built for the dry months, once you get the establishment period right.
Designing With Grasses
Drifts, texture contrast, and backlighting — real design principles, not just plant picks.
Dividing Ornamental Grasses
Free plants, healthier clumps — a dying center isn't a failure, it's an opportunity.
