The Art of Contrast and Harmony
Our “Living Showroom” is thoughtfully designed to illustrate how ornamental grasses can create stunning visual interest.
- Luminous Edges: Notice the bright, almost fluorescent yellow-green of a Hakone grass great for those shady areas.
- Striking Pairings: See how this vibrant foliage beautifully contrasts with the deep, rich burgundy of Blood Grass.
- Light & Shadow: The interplay of light and shadow on these plants throughout the day adds a dynamic, ever-changing beauty.
Dynamic Textures and Forms
Walk a little further, and you’ll encounter the dramatic presence of larger, more upright grasses.
- Vertical Interest: Varieties like Miscanthus sinensis or ‘Shenandoah’ Switchgrass tall, their slender blades swaying gently in the breeze.
- Varied Habits:
- Some grasses form tight, upright clumps.
- Others display a more arching, fountain-like habit.
- Color Splashes: Observe how we strategically use the striking red foliage of a weeping Japanese maple with Red Thymus or the bold patterns of Miscanthus “Cosmopolitian”.
Year-Round Appeal & Resilience
Beyond their stunning June display, our “Living Showroom” also highlights the incredible resilience and low-maintenance nature of ornamental grasses.
- Persistent Interest: These plants provide structure even in winter, with their beautiful seed heads often persisting into the colder months of the Pacific Northwest.
- Fall Foliage: Many varieties offer fantastic fall color before they go dormant.
