Grasses in a border
Some 20 years ago a new garden style launched itself on the British gardening scene. The Prairie Garden style is based on the landscape found in wild areas of North America. It was perfected by Dutchman Piet Oudolf but it usually requires a lot of garden. This collection is designed to suit smaller gardens with richer soils. It can be planted in one of each variety, or multiplied up as wished. When ordering, to save confusion, please take a note of the plants in this collection as by the time you receive them they may have changed.
