Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses: Sedges, Rushes, Restios, Cat-Tails,
and Selected Bamboos
by Rick Darke
Much has changed in the role and use of ornamental grasses over the
past 100 years. Whereas turn-of-the-century gardeners had perhaps a dozen
perennial grasses to choose from, today's gardeners have hundreds. Ornamental
grasses now embody a huge array of textures, forms, sizes, colors, flowering
times, and cultural adaptations. The Color Encyclopedia of Ornamental Grasses
is intended for gardeners in a wide range of situations and climates, and
draws from the experience and creativity of great gardens and gardeners
around the world. It begins with an exploration of the unique aesthetics
and appeal of ornamental grasses before moving on to a review of the families
of grasses and a survey of grasses in their native habitats. Gardeners
usually speak of "ornamental grasses" in the broad sense, including not
only the true grasses but also related families of grass-like plants. Following
this tradition, the book provides a detailed treatment of perennial grasses,
rushes, and cattails, as well as selected bamboos. Written by horticulturist
Rick Darke, this encyclopedia will be invaluable to nursery professionals,
landscapers, and home gardeners. Amazon.com

Gardening
With Grasses
by Michael King, Piet Oudolf
Book Description: Ornamental grasses are among the most versatile and
sophisticated of garden plants. Planted as single specimens in beds or
on the terrace in a container, grasses are striking focal points. Smaller
forms bring rhythm and diversity to mixed borders, and clumping forms richly
carpet the ground. This beautifully illustrated book by two imaginative
garden designers will provide equal measures of information and inspiration.
