A few grasses, like the pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana), is grown as much for its feathery plumes in late summer, as for its foliage effect. In the main ornamental grasses are foliage plants, often variegated, sometimes bluish-green in colour.
Grasses are mostly easy plants to grow, not at all fussy about soils.
There are a few grass varieties that can easily get out of hand and need to be trimmed, or if planted in the right place, they would not be a problem and they could be left to there own devises.
There are grass varieties most suited to boggy soils. These go well around the ponds or water features.
