For example, if you live in northern areas of the U.K. such as Scotland and the Highlands, then you can choose Oak, Ash, or Maple trees. If you want fruit varieties, choose from apple, pear, peach or cherry. If you live in the south like London and the home counties, then you can choose trees and shrubs such as orange, lemon or lime trees.

Muhlenbergia Capillaris (Pink Muhly Grass)

Product Description

Ornamental Grasses are chosen for their decorative qualities and whether used indoors or outdoors, they can bring a striking diversity to your garden. From round shrubs to tall walls of quivering spikes, ornamental grasses bring new shapes and textures that will contrast against the twisted roots of trees and the blooms of traditional plants and flowers. They are also becoming increasingly popular due to their hardiness against the British weather and their ability to hold their colour through autumn and winter.

Pink muhly grass is not only a beautiful ornamental grass, but it’s also low-maintenance. It doesn’t take much in the way of time and attention to make the most of this showy plant. These plants grow at a moderate rate and are best put in the ground in the spring or in the fall—at least a month before the initial frost is expected. In the spring and summer, the slender, long shoots of grass are green in color. As the fall approaches, the plant produces soft, fuzzy flowers in pink or pinkish-red hues which are often compared to the appearance of cotton candy. As winter approaches, the flowers lose their color but the dried-out plumes continue to offer visual appeal throughout the dormant season.
