Assorted ornamental grasses sold in #5 size containers, offering a variety of species perfect for adding texture, movement, and visual interest to any landscape. These container-grown plants are easy to establish and maintain, providing year-round beauty with minimal care.

Ornamental grasses are versatile landscape plants that can serve multiple functions including privacy screens, garden borders, groundcovers, and focal points. Common varieties available in assorted selections may include fountain grass with graceful arching foliage and bottlebrush blooms, feather reed grass featuring tall upright stalks that turn golden in fall, Japanese forest grass with cascading mounds of colorful foliage, maiden grass providing height and dramatic plumes, sedge grass offering evergreen texture, and switch grass displaying stunning seasonal color changes. Each variety brings unique characteristics in terms of height, color, texture, and growth habit.

These grasses are low maintenance champions that thrive in full sun to partial shade depending on variety. They are drought and heat tolerant once established, deer and rabbit resistant, and require no fertilizer or pesticides. Most ornamental grasses develop deep root systems that stabilize soil and reduce erosion. They provide four-season interest with fresh spring growth, summer blooms, fall color transitions, and winter seed heads that add architectural interest while providing food and shelter for wildlife including songbirds and beneficial insects. The #5 container size (typically 5-gallon) provides well-established plants with developed root systems ready for transplanting, allowing for faster establishment and immediate landscape impact compared to smaller pot sizes.

Seasonal care is minimal. During early spring, prune back previous year's growth to a few inches above ground level to allow fresh shoots to flourish. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots, then water only during drought periods. Divide plants every 2-3 years in early spring if needed to manage growth and vigor. Most varieties are adaptable to various soil conditions and are largely maintenance-free once established, making them an excellent choice for xeriscaping and low-water landscapes.
