Kostrzewa glaucoma 'Blauglut'- tuft grass with blue, narrow leaves, which retain their color throughout the year, also in winter.Reaches a height of about 20 centimeters, during flowering up to 30, also a similar diameter. Prefers sunny positions, permeable ground, with an admixture of sand. Blue fescue is one of the least demanding ornamental grasses, and at the same time one of the most attractive. Resistant to pests, drought and frost, it stains most on sandy and poor soils.
Imperata 'Red Baron'- an extremely effective and interesting variety of ornamental grass that grows slowly and is not expansive. It creates clumps with green leaves at the beginning of vegetation, i.e. in spring, and then red until autumn, discoloring from the top downwards. It is a medium-sized runner-up grass that grows up to about 40 - 60 centimeters in height. 'Red Baron' is a grass that requires fertile, moist but well-drained soil, rich in potassium, and a sunny position, possibly only slightly shaded.
Japanese Rozplenica 'Hameln'- one of the most popular ornamental grasses. It creates green clumps of loose, spreading, narrow leaves, grows up to about 80 centimeters. It blooms relatively early, usually at the end of July, and its fluffy inflorescences resemble narrow brushes, which are initially green and white, then pinkish, until they turn gray and brown. Rozplenica 'Hameln' definitely prefers sunny or slightly shaded locations. It is not a demanding species, but grows best in fertile, moderately moist and well-drained soil.
Chinese miscanthus 'Variegatus'- ornamental, strongly growing grass, creating large, dense and overhanging clumps, up to 2 meters high. It is distinguished among miscanthus by the white and yellow rim of the leaf.It blooms relatively rarely in Polish conditions, so it is worth treating it as an ornamental variety due to its interesting foliage. This miscanthus grows best in fertile and moist soils, in sunny or slightly shaded positions. Like all miscanthus, it is a fast-growing species, yet it is not an invasive grass that grows out of control.
Chinese Miscanthus 'Memory'- fast growing ornamental grass, forming straight clumps, narrower at the bottom, wide at the top, crowned with large, silky inflorescences in autumn. It grows up to 2.5 meters high, about 1.5 meters wide, the leaves are long, quite wide, especially compared to other varieties, regularly tapering, green with a white main vein running through the center. Miscanthus 'Memory' prefers fertile, moderately moist, slightly acidic soils and sunny positions.
