Grassy Mix Seed Bundle
For texture and balance, we highly recommend our Grassy Mix Seed Bundle for your wildflower garden, cutting garden, or for a lovely structural base in a sunny bed or big planter. These ornamental grasses and grains are tough and unstoppable, yet so ethereal and gentle. A handsome (and thrifty) way to fill in spaces that call for depth and height.
Bunny Tail Grass, of course, has its fluff-topped stems, the softest thing you've ever touched. Feather Top Grass has large creamy quills that grow up to 6" long in the late summer atop robust clumps of grass - a great keystone to a coastal or modern display. Limelight Millet, like Amaranth, grows on a sturdy upright stalk (like corn or a sunflower) that produces long, bowing, laser-bright-green flower heads of ancient grain. Any way you sow them, these beautiful plumes are a big statement in gardens and bouquets.
Includes three types of Ornamental Grass seed tubes, individually packed in a little cotton bag: Bunny Tail Grass, Feather Top Grass, and Limelight Millet.
