Grasses and Bamboo

Grasses have become increasingly popular over the past decade as more people discover their effectiveness. If you're searching for a low-maintenance landscape, few plants are better than grasses. Most require very little water to thrive and prefer our native soil without compost, fertilizers, etc. From a design perspective, grasses break up a dense and leafy landscape with their fine-textured foliage that moves in the breeze. Instant Shade carries a wide selection of ornamental grasses that includes many native and non-native species. Many grasses are listed with multiple sizes to fit your budget. They are all listed by the size of the container (ex. #3/5 = 3 or 5 gallon). Bamboo is listed with grasses because it is actually a member of the grass family. There are many different types of bamboo with only a few that work well in our area. Bamboo has become more popular in our area due to some cold hardy varieties that will remain evergreen through our winters. We've simplified our selection by listing a dwarf spreading groundcover, a tall spreading variety and a tall clumping variety. Not finding what you're looking for? There's a good chance we didn't list it because of limited availability. We may be able to special order it. Call 913-397-0999 for details.
