There's something idyllic about perennial grasses billowing gently in the breeze. Aside from the aesthetic value, perennial grasses serve another purpose by being the quickest (and most affordable) way to add height in your landscaping. Need summer privacy? A grouping of Miscanthus grasses is a great option! How about a shade loving grass? Then you need Japanese Forest Grass.
Planting Tips! We highly recommend using Bumper Crop Soil Builder. This amendment is mixed 50/50 with your native soil before backfilling the planting area. This amendment will help loosen heavy clay, bind sand, promote water retention, and provide a beneficial environment for micro-organisms essential to plant growth. Also, don't forget to mulch! Water retention (and weed prevention) is key to growing all perennials.
When's the best time to plant Perennial Grasses? Any time from May thru August. Planting later than that can be a little iffy. Perennial Grasses prefer going into winter with a strong root system. So the earlier you can plant, the better!
