A Pair of Potted Grasses
Containers filled with ornamental grasses can easily take center stage in outdoor living areas. Count on grasses to offer textural beauty courtesy of colorful leaves. The left pot includes fiber optic grass (Isolepis cernua ‘Live Wire’) and ‘Blue Arrows’ rush (Juncus inflexus ‘Blue Arrows’). The right pot stars ‘Red Rooster’ carex (Carex buchananii ‘Red Rooster’), weeping brown sedge (Carex flagellifera ‘Bronzita’) and New Zealand wind grass (Anementhele lessoniana), sometimes known as buffalo’s gold.
