Gorgeous Grasses for the Late Summer Garden

Yes, summer is still in high gear in the Pacific Northwest, but before long, we'll be seeing the back side of the hot weather’s last hurrah. As the angle of light settles lower, a sense of the changing seasons is setting in; routines are on track for a big shift as schools ease back into session and thoughts of fall garden projects percolate into our consciousness.

But if previous years can be a guide, we’ve got many days in store of pleasant temps and many opportunities to continue enjoying the garden enchantments of the season. So as we steer a course for fall, I’d like to take a moment to revel in some ornamental grasses, fantastic contributors to autumnal scenes, that are taking center stage in gardens now.

At eGardenGo, our focus is on helping gardeners feel more confident and be more successful when combining plants. You'll find hundreds of plant combo recipes on our searchable site, though we add the individual plants to the site only as they're included in at least one plant combo.

Are there plants that you'd like ideas for including in your garden that you haven't found on the site? I'd love to hear your suggestions for those you'd like to see us fast-track onto the site and I'll take them into consideration when deciding what to add next!
