Read here which grasses are available.

Garden lovers, whose garden area leaves little room for maneuver, do not have to despair.

Because even those who have a small garden can make it beautiful.

Ornamental grasses are particularly suitable for this.

Here are five ideas on which of these grasses to plant in your garden.

Grasses for the small garden: Pennisetum 'Hameln'

Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' or simple pennon cleaner grass 'Hameln' grows

between 60 and 90 centimeters high

.

It is the inflorescences that make up the ornamental grass.

In the months of July to October, the

flowers

of pennon cleaner grass 'Hameln'

shine

in

light green to white

.

The garden experts from

Mein Schöner Garten

point out that the grass can be used excellently as a ground cover - as long as the soil is slightly dry.

Grasses for the small garden: Japanese grass

The Japanese grass (Hakonechloa macra) can

protrude 30 to 90 centimeters and shines in a beautiful shade of green

.

But despite the height of the growth, the stalks of the Japanese grass fall loosely and are a beautiful eye-catcher in the small garden.

The blades of grass adapt in color both in the summer months and in autumn.

While the Japanese grass blooms wonderfully in summer, it takes on a warm color in the cooler autumn months.

Grasses for the small garden: blue pipe grass

Molinia caerulea, also known as blue pipegrass, is also suitable.

Depending on which variety you choose, the grass can

grow

between

60 and 120 centimeters high

.

What is special about this ornamental grass is its splendor of colors.

Because, as the experts at

Mein Schöner Garten

know, these change over time.

You can expect a lush green of leaves and flower stalks, for example, during the growth phase.

In autumn the ornamental grass then shines in a light yellow tone

.

And the spikelets don't always look the same either.

Sometimes it shines in a beautiful gold, sometimes more green-purple.

Ideally, plant the blue pipegrass in a damp location where it gets a lot of sun.
