The Growing Season, June 29, 2024 - Ornamental Grasses


Listen Later

Children of the wind, rejoice!

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland unearth the secrets of ornamental grasses on this week's episode of The Growing Season. 

All grasses can be linked back to something called "The Timothy Grass."   What's the history of said grass?   How does the lineage work?

What about grasses in shade?   They exist and THEY ARE WONDERFUL!

Matt tells a story about lilac's pollinating and by-law officers.  Not kidding.

Forest grass, festuca, Red Baron grass, ribbon grass, zebra grass and sedges all come into focus.

Jack explains how to transplant your potted grasses and keep them for the winter to include in your gardening adventures next season.

Why are grasses so prominent in modern landscapes?

How do you prune ornamental grasses?  Lynne explains.

Tune in.
