View full detailsWhat are the best-known and most popular flowering ornamental grasses?
Although we often think of grasses as just green leaves, a flowering ornamental grass is a real eye-catcher. One of the most beloved species is Lilyturf (Liriope muscari), which surprises in late summer with beautiful purple or white flower spikes that strongly resemble grape hyacinths. Fountain Grass (Pennisetum) is also an absolute favorite; this flowering ornamental grass forms soft, bushy plumes that remain decorative well into winter. For a sophisticated look, Diamondgrass (Calamagrostis brachytricha) is very popular, thanks to the silvery flower plumes that sparkle in the morning dew.
The benefits of flowering ornamental grass?
The greatest advantage of a flowering ornamental grass is its double ornamental value. You benefit from the soothing structure of the grass, combined with the color and texture of the inflorescence. Moreover, these grasses add a vertical accent to the garden, giving your border more depth. Another major plus is that the flowers of ornamental grasses often remain beautiful for months; first as fresh blooms and later as impressive dried silhouettes. In addition, many flowering grasses attract beneficial insects, and the seeds provide food for birds in the winter, which directly contributes to the biodiversity in your garden.
What to look for when buying flowering ornamental grass?
When choosing the right flowering ornamental grass, there are a few important things to consider:
What types of flowering ornamental grasses are there?
There is an enormous variety of inflorescences within the category of flowering ornamental grasses. You have the 'spike-shaped' bloomers such as Carex (Sedge) and Liriope, which produce compact and sleek flowers. In addition, there are the 'plume-shaped' grasses such as Feather Reed (Calamagrostis) and Silver Reed (Miscanthus), which form large, swaying flower heads. Feather Grass (Stipa) also belongs in this list with its delicate, hair-thin bloom that moves at the slightest gust of wind. Whether you prefer a sleek, modern look or a wild, natural garden, there is always a flowering ornamental grass that sets the right atmosphere.
How and where do I plant my flowering ornamental grass?
Plant a flowering ornamental grass in a spot where the inflorescence is clearly visible, for example, between perennials that have finished flowering around the same time. This way, the grass takes over and the border remains interesting. Low-growing varieties with flower spikes, such as Liriope 'Big Blue', work perfectly as edging along a garden path. Taller varieties with plumes look best as a solitary plant or at the back of the border. When planting, ensure nutritious soil and sufficient space so that the flower stalks are not suppressed by neighboring plants and can move freely with the wind.
How do I care for my flowering ornamental grass?
Caring for a flowering ornamental grass requires little effort. Feel free to leave the spent flowers and plumes standing in autumn and winter; they form a beautiful winter silhouette and protect the plant from frost. In early spring (March), cut most varieties back short to just above the ground so that fresh green leaves and new flower stalks can emerge. For evergreen varieties such as Lilyturf, you only need to cut away the damaged leaves and old flower stalks. A little organic fertilizer in the spring ensures extra vigorous flowering in the new season.

Frequently asked questions about flowering ornamental grasses
When do ornamental grasses start flowering?
This varies by species. Some grasses, such as Feather Reed, bloom as early as June. Most species, including Fountain Grass and Lilyturf, do not show their flowers until late summer (August/September) and often continue to bloom until the first frost.
Are the flowers of ornamental grass suitable for bouquets?
Absolutely! The plumes and spikes of a flowering ornamental grass are excellent as cut flowers or dried flowers. They give a natural and airy effect to any bouquet and often stay beautiful in a vase for a very long time.
Does every ornamental grass flower?
In principle, every ornamental grass blooms, but with some species, the flowering is very inconspicuous or only appears under ideal (sunny) conditions. In this collection, we have specifically selected the species where the flowering actually has a clear ornamental value.
Do the flowers remain on the plant in winter?
With many species, the flowers dry out on the plant and remain decorative throughout the autumn and a large part of the winter. Only when the weather becomes really harsh (storm or heavy snowfall) can the plumes fall apart or snap.
