Ornamental Grass Hardy and Evergreen

How do I care for my evergreen ornamental grasses?

Caring for an evergreen ornamental grass is very simple: you do not need to cut them back short in the spring. Instead of a major pruning, it is sufficient to 'freshen up' the plant in March. You do this by combing the loose, brown blades out of the clump with your fingers or a coarse rake. This preserves the natural shape and gives the new growth plenty of room. Should a plant have developed some unsightly foliage after an extremely harsh winter, you can lightly trim the tips. A little organic fertilizer in the spring is often sufficient to give your hardy ornamental grasses a healthy growth spurt again. **Buy evergreen ornamental grasses at Planten247** **Do you want a garden that shines 365 days a year?** Buying hardy and evergreen ornamental grasses at Planten247 means choosing the highest quality directly from the grower.

Frequently asked questions about evergreen ornamental grasses

Do these grasses stay green when it freezes?

Absolutely, the selected evergreen ornamental grasses retain their leaves during frost. In extreme cold, some leaves may temporarily curl up or turn slightly duller to protect themselves, but as soon as the temperature rises, they recover very quickly.

Are evergreen grasses also suitable for pots?

Absolutely! They are ideal, especially in pots on the terrace or balcony, because they provide a green view even in winter. When planted in a pot, ensure good drainage and give a small amount of water occasionally during dry, frost-free periods in winter.

How fast do hardy grasses grow?

The growth rate varies by species, but most low evergreen grasses form a beautiful, full clump within two seasons. Species such as Carex 'Ice Dance' are known for their rapid expansion, making them ideal for quickly filling empty spots in the border.
