Grass & Perennials Collection
In recent years, borders containing a mixture of grasses and hardy perennials have become popular. This collection of mail order plants will provide colour throughout the year, provided the grasses are left intact until spring, when it is time to cut them back. This collection of grasses and herbaceous perennials flower from summer to early winter and are quite popular with pollinating insects like bees. When you buy a nursery plant collection, to save confusion, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed. Featured plants run approximately from tallest (top left-hand corner) to shortest (bottom right-hand corner).
