The appeal of grasses in the garden is very different from that offered by flowering plants.  Ornamental grasses offer beauty and year round interest by the use of line, form, texture, movement and translucency.  One large plant can provide an accent point in your garden or a mixture of different grasses can be a garden focal point..  Grasses  are beautiful intermixed with your perennials.  Mix it up, bring together different textures, colors, foliage shape to add interest.  A row of grasses can draw your eyes down a sight line.  There are even small grasses useful as path edgings or rock garden plants.  The only problem with buying container grasses is that they rarely look good growing in pots.  It is only when they are planted in your garden and allowed to establish that they will recognize their full potential for beauty.
