Hey beta14chan
According to Illinios.edu, http://urbanext.illinois.edu/grasses/ there are more than 15 varieties of ornamental grasses. They are an annual or perennial grass plant valued for its texture and color the landscape. Basically they are grasses that you allow to grow to their full potential. Types of ornamental grasses include Bluestem, Blue Fescue, Blue Lymegrass, Feather Reed Grass, Plume Grass, Northern Sea Oats, Purple Moor Grass, Ribbon Grass, and many others.
Probably the most common ornamental grass I see in my neighborhood is Fountain Grass. Fountain Grass certainly qualifies as ornamental grass. They recommend using it as an accent or specimen plant in the middle of borders along with other perennials. Fountain Grass produces a colorful display when in full bloom and does very well as a transition grass, blurring the line between formal and natural areas. I’ve lost more than a couple of golf balls in someone’s natural barrier between their yard and the fairway.
Fountain grass flowers beginning in July through the Fall and, while the colors change, the flowering can continue well into winter. It grows well in any fertile, moist, wet or well drained soil and thrives in full sun with very little shade.
