Grasses for winter interest

Graybeard Grass (Spodiopogon sibiricus) is a midsize ornamental grass that thrives in partial shade. With the cooler temperatures of fall and a hard freeze we can finally enjoy its seasonal change of color. It’s important to leave the foliage of grasses up for the winter, their seed heads are a food source for wildlife and their feathery texture provides interest in the winter landscape.
Do you have any favorite ornamental grasses in your garden?

Bouteloua gracilis!
YES! A wonderful grass that is under used in our area. I am so happy to find another fan.
