Focus on Grasses

Let’s talk about grasses, sedges, and rushes for our winged allies. These unassuming plants provide shelter, food sources, and nesting material for a diverse array of birds.

Ornamental grasses & sedges are not just visually appealing; they play multifaceted roles in landscaping that address practical concerns. Check out these great choices that help solve problems.

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.
