Many ornamental grasses thrive throughout the year—especially those native to the Gulf Coast region of Texas. They are a great way to keep your yard looking healthy regardless of the time of year. In the winter time, many species retain their green color and keep your yard from looking brown and drab. In the summer, those accustomed to our long cycles without rain withstand drought conditions that kill other plants.Houston landscaping with ornamental grasses helps add an additional layer of vertical impact to the yard. Smaller species of native grass grow higher than ground cover and lower than shrubs. Their foliage will stand out against the backdrop created by a row of boxwoods and add a graceful movement to the scene. Decorative tall grasses will often attract butterflies and birds. This adds the dynamic of wildlife to the scene and keeps things constantly moving with the ebb and flow of animal life.
