My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Ornamental Grass

ornamental grass - Zone 7

19 years ago

Hello,

Fairly new to ornamental grasses and would like a few recommendations to what grows well in my area (outside of Baltimore).

I have a fairly sunny spot for them and am looking for a mixture of mid height (2'-4') and tall >5'. Actually recently moved 4-5 large pine trees from my yard and would like to use the grass on the property line between my house and my neighbors in this area.

Definitely want perennials and can start them from seed in a small growing rack I have in my basement. Don't have a large budget for this project.

Thanks for the assistance.
