A fine and relevant statement for our catalogue from the grass guru himself, the late Karl Foerster (1874-1970), the famous horticulturalist from Potsdam, Germany.
Beautiful & versatile it is our belief, as fellow enthusiasts of ornamental grasses, that there is a species available in cultivation for every situation, whether garden, meadow, “prairie”, patio, roof terrace, beach, pond & lakeside or alpine.
Inspired by nature & planting in the natural garden we have looked to the usual habitat of the species we offer for sale in order for you to get that “right plant in the right place”. Working on the theory that in order to get the most out of a plant you can give it the conditions to which it has adapted to or evolved in order to survive. So in all our descriptions we have given a priority to where the grass has been found and in what environment it grows to its best.
This can help us in other ways too, enabling us to find ornamental grasses that will thrive in particular places or environments. Look to our page on “Grasses & Restios for Specific Sites” for further information.
All prices quoted are for one specimen in a container that can be planted at any time of year.
