Most of us only consider grass as a chore, when we have to mow the lawn. But ornamental grasses, bred for floristry for their decorative seedheads, elegant stems or colourful stripes, make great additions to any arrangement. Delicate plumes of grass soften bouquets, and remind us of wild meadows and summer evenings.
This Setaria grass has a soft fluffy feel and appearance, rather like a squirrel’s tail. Just behind you can see the rosy pink flowers of sedum, another great autumn flower. Look out for grasses including fountain grass (frondy and very airy), China grass, typha (a long broad green blade), and even wheat.
