Ornamental grasses

Ornamental grasses bring a sense of lightness, dynamic energy, and natural movement to every garden. Whether they are softly rustling in the breeze or their stems are glistening under the weight of autumn dew, they always manage to bring even the plainest bed to life. They work perfectly as filler between perennials, providing them with the necessary structure and a subtle contrast.

What's more, most of them are very low-maintenance and handle both drought and cold well. They keep their charm long into the winter, when their clumps covered in frost create an impressive sight. From low, compact mounds to tall focal points, grasses offer a wide variety of possibilities for any spot in your garden.

You will appreciate their fluffy inflorescences not just outdoors, but also at home in a vase. Many of them are excellent for cutting and drying. Here at Loukykvět, we love adding them to our autumn bouquets because they help create soft and airy arrangements that will bring you joy for many months to come.

Autumn Moor Grass, Loukykvět

Sesleria autumnalis

Autumn moor grass is an exceptionally hardy ornamental grass that introduces fresh greenery to the garden right from early spring. Native to the rocky slopes of the Balkans, it is well-adapted to free-draining soils, making it an ideal choice for novice gardeners. It forms neat clumps growing thirty to fifty centimeters tall. Its greatest asset is its bright green foliage, which emerges early and remains in pristine condition in the borders well into winter. The plant is untouched by diseases or pests and handles severe frosts superbly. In August and September, delicate creamy-beige flowers appear above the foliage. These rather subtle spikelets give the plant an elegant, refined look. In the garden, it acts as a perfect filler perennial for sunny or partially shaded spots. It looks absolutely stunning paired with calamint, airy gaura, or flowering oregano. Its delicate flowers and leaves are easily used as foliage filler in fresh bouquets, or they can be dried for small-scale floristry projects.

European feather grass, Loukykvět

Stipa pennata

The flowers of feather grasses catch the eye in beds and bouquets with their lightness and delicacy. All feather grasses love full sun and dry, stony, well-drained soil. To look most natural in flower beds, it is good to plant them in loose groups of a few pieces together with other drought-loving perennials and bulbs. Only then will their stems and inflorescences, set in motion by the slightest breeze, stand out. A grass naturally distributed in Europe, Central Asia, and North Africa. It forms sturdy grey-green clumps with upright stems. The flowers, in the form of silvery-white awns, resemble long hair.
