  • Planting Ornamental Grasses is a fantastic way to add color and texture to the perennial landscape. They're low-maintenance, critter-resistant, and they can provide great winter interest. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Manager with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn about 10 different types of Ornamental Grasses plus how to grow and care for them. She talks about some of our favorite types including Fountain (Pennisetum), Feather Reed (Calamagrostis), Sedge (Carex), Japanese Blood Grass (Imperata) Japanese Forest (Hakonechloa), Maiden Grass (Miscanthus), Fescue (Festuca), Prairie Dropseed (Sporobolus), Switchgrass (Panicum), and Black Hawks (Andropogon).

    Thank you for the info about the outer rim having the most active growth. Never thought about it but it makes sense! I have used an old bread knife to separate my pink muhly in the past. I find the serrated edge helps. Just bought a hori hori knife and will try it next year. Love your videos.

    Glad I came across ur channel, im in Pasco and this year is our first year that we plant pampas grass. I was gonna trim it back before winter hits but after your lesson on grasses I'm going to leave them up and trim back mid February. Thank you for the info.

    Just received your Gardening with Angelo Christmas 2023 magazine! These books are awesome, very inspirational. You've motivated me to go to Petitti in Bainbridge and load up. Thanks for the coupons inside as well! 😎👍🏻

    Trying to make some decision on what type of grasses to grow and watching your educational video for the second time. You bring so many to my attention that I did not know about! Much to learn and grateful for your extensive knowledge. Thanks Noelle, always enjoy your videos very much!

    Good video to learn about the different types of grasses. She gave the height on all of them but didn't give the width. That would have been something we should know, so we could know if they fit in the space we want to plant it. I looked at a plant tag for Octoberfest, and it said up to five feet wide which is huge and up to 7 feet tall.

    😊First of all thank you so much for explaining these grasses will they get in my St Augustine grass my Daddy plugged the yard with St Augustine and it really loves it here. It's absolutely gorgeous and no I'm not bragging I'm thankful.
    I want to naturalize some areas but I do not want it jumping into my St Augustine so far so good but it's going all over the place in the front yard and the backyard it's very beautiful one has a pink purple color to it in the fall and the others are like a corkscrew grass.
    And the blue Grass some I don't know what they are so I really appreciate the information
    I greatly appreciate it and yes ma'am I did subscribe😊

    Ohhh, I need that panicum 'Hot Rod' !! ... lovely form and colors! Panicum 'Prairie Fire' is very good, blueish foliage that gets nicely painted in reds and purples, it's much better than the similarly named 'Prairie Flame'. 'Blackhawks' is stunning, I keep dividing and placing more and more around the place, the divisions I set in August had turned lovely reddish purple! Miscanthus 'Fire Dragon' is new to me this year, has nice cascading foliage of thin fine blades. I NEED 'Morning Light' been considering that one!

    I have two kinds. Chinese fountain grass. As tall as my 2nd story window. I have left it up through winter and the sparrows look so cute landing on the tops and bouncing up and down. They look gorgeous with the sun shining on them. I have tried to cut them in the spring but this type is SO stiff. I get leg scars every year. I have used hedge trimmers but that is difficult too on this type.
    2nd type is red head. It gets long fuzzy purple bottle brush plumes, but spreads and pops up all over my yard. My flower garden is constantly being covered by the long leaf blades. Anything new I plant gets shaded by the long grass blades and I have to cut it back.

    Using a sawzaw with a wood cutting blade is the absolute fastest and easiest way I've used to divide grasses. Highly recommend to save time, preserve your tools and your back.

    • @WeezieV

      I thought it was called a "Sawzall?" 😊 Like it saws it all.
      I don't have one, but it sounds like something I could use but I would be scared of it. My Chinese fountain grass is a stiff beast and I get a leg cut every year cutting it down. (From the cut grass base, not the tool.) The cut always scars despite moisturizing with cocoa butter.

    Does Petitti have other cultivars of andropogon gerardii besides blackhawks? I’d like one with a nice green and red on it

    The rabbits don't eat my Hakonechloa, Fescue or my Calamagrostis but they will eat my Blue Oat grass. I now protect it for the winter. Bonny

    Good information but you keep saying “us” but who is us? What growing area are you referring to? As a first time watcher it’s hard to know where you are without mentioning your growing zone.

    I like the Hot Rod. What would be another kind of grass that would compliment Hot Rod? Thinking of doing a line along my sidewalk Hot Rod...Something Else....Hot Rod....Something Else....etc...

      Some caramel colored Heuchera (coral bells) would be pretty with them.
