If you are looking for something to spice up your yard that requires little to no maintenance, ornamental grasses might be what you are looking for.  They can add a great backdrop to your annuals and perennials as well as fill in an empty corner.  They could also be used along a fence or as a decorative hedge.

The Dallas Blues Switch Grass Panicum virgatum 'Dallas Blues' PPAF adds a great accent of blue foliage.  In the late summer to early fall it will spout spikes of tan to pink that shoot up against the blue.  They grow up to 4-6 foot tall and spread up to 18 inches.  They are great clumped together in a mass, alone or in a row.  These are very hardy plants and easy to grow.

I like them clumped together with perennial or annual flowers or small bushes or even a nice ground cover around the plants.  Even bark mulch or rock type mulch gives nice texture to the landscape.

If you want to try something new to perk up your garden, this would be a great choice!
