Versatile Fountain Grasses

Fountain grasses make striking thrillers in containers, and they are far more robust than you might expect. Their roots easily pack large pots and leave little room for neighbors as summer wanes.

In spring, you’ll be eager to plant the pot’s edges with instant color annuals, but by midsummer as the grass begins to dominate it will be time to remove those that become overshadowed. In fall, fill any gaps with seasonal accents like gourds and pinecones. Since these grasses are not cold hardy in most climates, the entire pot’s contents can be composted at the end of the year.
