Collection: Bring Movement & Texture

Create a border full of movement, texture and interest with our selection of grasses and companion plants.

Grasses can bring an incredible sense of movement to a garden, catching the breeze and adding texture, structure and seasonal interest. Combined with the right flowering plants, they can create a naturalistic planting that changes beautifully through the seasons.

We've brought together our grasses alongside a selection of plants that make particularly good companions, giving you plenty of choice to create your own combination.

Why not mix different grasses, or combine a grass with flowering plants such as Sanguisorba, Eryngium, Salvia or Persicaria?

Three ways to get started

Some ideas as a starting point – mix and match from the collection to create your own combination.

For movement and airy texture
Stipa tenuissima + Salvia nemerosa 'Caradonna' + Achillea 'Walther Funcke'

For structure and contrast
Panicum 'Heavy Metal' + Sanguisorba 'Tanna' + Eryngium x olivierianum 'Pen Blue'

For late-summer colour
Panicum 'Warrior' + Persicaria amplexicaulis 'Firetail' + Veronicastrum virginicum 'Fascination'
