ORNAMENTAL GRASSES

Ornamental grasses are a must in the dry Okanagan and multiple varieties are now available to add a new dimension to your yard and garden!

Not only are grasses fascinating plants, they are remarkably easy care for the gardener. They are virtually pest-free and have the means to withstand a variety of environments. Grasses provide interest all year long. Even in winter they exhibit stunning beauty in the frost and snow.

There is a multitude of clumping grasses from which to choose! The clumping grasses are usually preferable to the running grasses. Clumping grasses stay-put and generally are more popular because of this feature. Most of the grasses Art Knapp carries are clumping! There are also varying colours, heights and sizes available, from giant types to groundcovers. Grasses are suitable in areas with rich, deep soil or more shallow soils, and there are grasses that thrive in sun or full shade.

Come in and browse through our huge selection of beautiful ornamental grasses.

Tip: Xeriscaping refers to landscaping with drought-tolerant plants, and is becoming an extremely popular way of gardening. It offers high quality, attractive landscaping - not necessarily producing the 'desert-look'. Xeriscape can be used in condominium gardening, urban yards, acreages, parks, schools and even parking lots!
