Grasses are a very good focal point or accent for a garden. They can also be a good screening plant for summer all the way into the winter.
Groundcovers can be used in difficult areas where other perennials will not grow. Many of them are lower maintenance than lawns and can provide seasonal interest. Groundcovers can be flowering or non-flowering.
