Description

Coloured ornamental grasses have forged a way into modern gardens, as they are just so versatile. Holding their colour all year round, their range of shades blend perfectly with all year long flower displays.

Great in mixed planters, tubs and pots, with Autumn and Winter bedding, or as a softer wispy addition to mixed borders, they have won their place in gardens on merit. Hardy, easy to grow, no maintenance and not fussy at all about soil types, they are a must for all gardens.

This collection contains 1 plant each of:

Festuca glauca 'Blue Select' - a neat clump foming grass to 3cm tall, its grey blue foliage turns almost azure sky blue in spring and summer, best colour in sun.

Carex buchananii - tall, upright arcs of chocolate to rusty brown foliage, with a delicate swirl at the end of the hundreds of leaves. Great for autumnal planters. Ht 4cm

Carex oshimensis 'Evergold' - a real tough beauty, the evergreen leaves are rich green, with golden edges down both sides. They form neat clumps, that cascade down, maiing them ideal in ubs and planters where they can trail. ht to 2cm, spread 4cm.

Top Tips
  • Leave the flower stems on until spring - they look great in winter!
Care Information
  • To plant, firstly water your potted plant well.
  • Dig a hole a little deeper and 3 x wider than the nursery pot.
  • Remove the plant from its pot and tease out some of the roots.
  • Place your plant in the hole at the same level at the pot then refill the hole with the earth removed.
  • Firm in the soil with your heel, avoiding the root ball and water well before adding a mulch around the base of the plant.
  • Water regularly until established, but your grasses will quickly become drought tolerant.
  • Cut back old flower stems in autumn, unless you want to leave them in place over winter, in which case cut back in spring.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
