‘Spiked Punch’ DesignNJ February/March 2009
Beth Pellegrini, a designer with Cording Landscape Design in Towaco, is almost poetic in describing ornamental grasses. “The breeze moves through them, causing motion and sound, making the gardens come alive. Also, they give variety in form, color, and texture, and can be mixed with other plants to make interesting plant combinations.”
Ideal planting times for perennial grasses are spring into early summer, so now is the time to decide what and where to plant.
