Monrovia ColorGrass Twister
Best low-maintenance accent for busy gardeners seeking year-round architectural texture.
This ornamental grass brings a sculptural, almost hypnotic energy to garden beds and containers that standard foliage just can't match. Its spiraling blades offer year-round architectural interest with almost zero effort, though you sacrifice the height and drama of larger, more traditional grasses for its compact, mounding form.
