Best low-maintenance choice for eco-conscious gardeners seeking drought-tolerant landscape beauty.
This ornamental grass is the ultimate low-lift solution for adding movement and texture to a dry, sun-drenched landscape. While it demands almost nothing in terms of maintenance, you must be prepared for its aggressive self-seeding nature if you prefer a strictly manicured garden.
