Grasses provide the backbone of many gardens, each type offering something different,
be it height, colour or texture, there is a grass to enhance any situation.
Here at Rectory Garden we offer a brilliant range of hardy varieties to suit any garden,
large or small.
BRIMELI - Briza media Limouzi
This very attractive selection of quaking grass has rich blue-green leaves with large purplish flowerheads that fade to a warm buff colour as they mature.
CARBRPE - Carex Bronze Perfection
Clump-forming hairy sedge with fine, textured bronzy-brown foliage.
PENHAME - Pennisetum Hamein
A charming, deciduous grass that forms a compact, low mound and produces long-lasting, soft, pinkish, brush-like flowers in late summer that resemble squirrel tails. The bright green leaves turn yellow in autumn. It’s a fairly undistinguished plant until the flowers appear, so use it alongside spring bulbs or early-flowering perennials.
PENLIBU - Pennisetum Little Bunny
'Little Bunny', a dwarf variety, forms a low, tufted mound of green leaves with fluffy flower heads later in the season and carrying on into Winter.
UNCRUBR - Uncinia rubra
A bright and colourful sedge grass that adds drama and structure to containers, rockeries and the front of borders. Uncinia rubra ‘Everflame’ has fabulous evergreen bronzed foliage with scarlet margins, which persists throughout the winter months in a fiery year round display. This vibrant Red Hook Sedge is a clump forming hardy perennial that will creep gently around damp areas of the garden.

DIEBLAC - Dierama pulcherrimum 'Blackbird'
Also known as Angel's Fishing Rod - see why when the purple bell flowers dangling from the fine stems appear in July and August. Choose an open, sunny position in a fertile, loamy, moist, but well-drained, soil, which doesn’t dry out in summer or become waterlogged in winter. They can be planted in borders or gravel gardens and look good grown with ornamental grasses. They are attractive near water, but careful positioning is necessary as the corms mustn't get too wet.
