Winter Landscapes


Ornamental grasses add a lot to our winter landscapes and you'll notice all kinds being used more often around town. The orange winter hue of this mystery grass reflects the tawny color of pine needles and adds a warm punctuation on snowy, dull days. Hardy to zone 4 and a member of a large popular family, it has white fluffy plumes. Specimens have caught my eye along OB Riley Road.
