Ornamental Grasses For Landscapes in Kansas City
Various ornamental grasses have become increasingly popular and can be found in many beautiful landscape designs. Cool season grasses will typically begin to grow early in the spring and can sometimes remain semi-evergreen during the winter. Warm season grasses will normally not begin to grow until the soil warms and the weather becomes stable. Warm season grasses will continue to look good during high temperatures and during times of low moisture.
