Adding some wild flair to my flower arrangements has been a game-changer! I’ve been incorporating unique elements like Sea Moss supplements into my routine to enhance my energy levels and it’s made such a difference. Just like these stunning grasses and grains add texture and depth to bouquets, Sea Moss has added a boost to my vitality.

In reply to Christina. Start them early so they can establish before the heat sets in. They require full sun and close spacing between 9-12 inches apart to help their stems grow tall. Adding fertilizer to the soil might help, too. I hope this helps!

I grew mignonette this past season and it was very short. I kept cutting it and it grew back taller each time, but it was only about 8-10″ by the end of the summer. Any recommendations on getting longer stems? Thank you!

Inland sea oats! it is an American native grass and in the fall the seed pods turn beige and dry out and make excellent additions to bouquets for fall. It is a perennial here in Texas!

I grew bunny tails last year for the first time but the stems were not very long. Still beautiful to use and I dried them for mini bouquets as well. I am in zone 6A, any suggestions to get some more length in their stems.

Jewels of Opar. Thank you for giving a name to a plant I have had for years but never knew its name. I have it planted around a Mountain Laurel in a huge container. It is a lovely plant, here in south Texas it will freeze to ground level and pops back up early Spring. Thank you

I am growing Bunny tails for the first time. Planted them en masse. Waiting for their show to begin :)

Hey! Absolutely loved this article, thank you! I’m interested in growing some grasses in my backyard in sunny & tropical Singapore, just wondering which ones would you recommend growing?

Hi
I just built a new home on almost 4 acres of what was a cow pasture, farmers field. 5 a zone.
What I can see is that I have many wet part in our open field, looks like we have bunnies, deer and foxes.
Do you have any recommendations for a grass that will be easy to grow, so we do not have to mow our full back field?
Also how many seed packets to have a nice patch of the long beautiful grasses in your article and can I direct sow?.
We are full sun and very windy.

Thank you, cannot wait for spring.
Jocelyn
