Focus on Grasses

Many grasses, sedges, and rushes do a great job in green infrastructure features. Our Plants for GI Charts help narrow down the choices.

Exposure to salts, either in coastal environments or along roadsides, can stunt growth and even kill plants. Many grasses can tolerate exposure to salts, especially species native to coastal areas.

At Hoffman Nursery, we believe in plants that solve problems. In parts 5-8 of our "Solving Regional Problems with Plants" series, Sami Nickerson from our Sales & Customer Service team takes a look at some of the environmental challenges in the Southwest, Great Plains, Midwest, and Eastern Canadian regions of North America, and how the plants on our Regional Plant Lists help in solving those problems.

Grasses complement any space and style. They add texture, movement, color, and year-round interest to the landscape. Whether you are new to the world of grasses or just need a refresher on the grass basics, in this post we highlight some best practices when it comes to growing, planting, and managing your grasses.

One of our favorite seasons is just around the corner, and we’re so excited! No, we’re not talking about the holidays (although we do love the holiday season). It’s time to start thinking about cool-season crops. Coming this month, January, and February fresh liners of cool-season favorites will be ready to ship. And just like holiday shopping, you’ll want to get your orders in early!
