PETITTI A Guide to Perennial Ornamental Grasses | 10 Types to Grow

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).

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!

😊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😊

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.

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! 😎👍🏻

Please, please, please tell us the growing zone for the plants you show us.

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.

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.

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
