Taking center stage in many Southern gardens in fall are the artful plumes of ornamental grasses. The graceful seed heads of a variety of species should be in full glory as we march into a much-anticipated autumnal break from the hottest part of summer. Because many of these are warm-season species this is not a good time to plant ornamental grasses.
Do you have any favorite ornamental grasses?

Ornamental grasses truly shine in Southern gardens during the fall, showcasing their stunning seed heads and adding texture to the landscape. As the temperatures begin to cool, these warm-season grasses reach their peak beauty, creating a lovely focal point. However, it's best to wait until spring to plant them, as they thrive when established during warmer months. For now, enjoy their graceful plumes and consider planning your garden for next season!
