Grasses are an essential part of a sub tropical garden, either for their flowers or for their architectural foliage. We grow a large selection of species and varieties from small hummocks to impressive tall specimens. Many are evergreen giving all year colour and interest or give delicate flowers to contrast with bold foliage plants.
