Bamboo, Ferns and Grasses

Click to be taken straight to: Bamboo, Ferns or Grasses.

Bamboos are very desirable garden plants. They can make large clumps that are ideal as focal points or for adding structure to borders – but you will need to control them as they can look unsightly if left to grow unhindered. Broad- leaved varieties can be invasive but Phyllostachys does not cause problems in our climate and the smaller Fargesias are compact and trouble-free.

Ferns have such beautiful forms and textures that it’s easy to see why Victorian people became avid collectors. They’re good for naturalising and grow well in that tricky shady spot.

Ornamental grasses can play a part in most gardens, from softening edges, giving movement and structure, providing calming accompaniments to more colourful flowering plants to being the sole focus of the design.
