Grasses and Groundcover:
Grasses are a very good focal point or accent for a garden. They can also be a good screening plant for summer all the way into winter in the Northeast. Remember, you get 3 seasons out of grasses- Summer, Fall and Winter- in the spring time you should cut your grass plants down to one third from the ground to allow new growth to flourish as the warmer weather comes around.
