Add texture, movement, and elegance to your garden
Grasses and bamboo are perfect for adding both beauty and functionality to any garden. Grasses offer a range of textures, lush colours, and gentle movement throughout the seasons, while bamboo brings height, structure, and a calming atmosphere, ideal for creating a tropical or serene space. Both options are fast growing and low maintenance, whilst attracting wildlife and thriving in a variety of conditions.

How to plant bamboo and ornamental grasses
To plant bamboo and ornamental grasses, start by choosing a sunny or partly shaded spot with well-drained soil. Dig a hole that’s twice the size of the plant’s root ball, and for bamboo, make sure to plant it in a contained area to prevent it from spreading. After planting, water thoroughly and consistently, especially during dry periods, and mulch around the base to help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
