The Flower Grasses collection

Flower Grasses

The Flower Grasses collection features ornamental grasses selected specifically for their decorative blooms. From soft bottlebrush plumes to airy, cloud-like flowers, these grasses add movement, texture, and seasonal interest to the landscape. Well suited to California climates, they perform beautifully in coastal, Bay Area, and inland gardens.

Unlike foliage-only grasses, flowering grasses bring a dynamic, changing look throughout the growing season, catching light and breeze while adding subtle color and contrast.
