Why I Love Ornamental Grasses
Of all the different plants I grow in our rather inhospitable garden, I get the best bang for my buck from the ornamental grasses. Once planted, they go from season to season, year after year requiring almost nothing from me.

Miscanthus gracillimus is a beautiful and graceful large grass.
Miscanthus purpurescens turns into gorgeous fall colours.
Crimson Fountain grass is an annual grass in our zone 5 garden but still worth growing.

Would it be better to keep ornamental grass in a container?I am planning on using these in my sandy garden but I dont want them invading my neighbors home.Anybody know if this will work or should I just forget it and do something else.I live on the Alabama Gulf Coast.Dont wont to worry about having to water all year.

There are clumping grasses and spreading grasses. Always plant a clumping grass. If unsure ask your nursery staff. If they are not sure, don't plant it.
