Ornamental

Definition:

Ornamental

Plants or grasses that are used for their decorative or unusual traits. Ornamental plants are typically chosen because of their display of flowers, fragrance, fruit, bark, or unusual traits such as prominent thorns. Ornamental grasses are typically used in landscapes because they can be low maintenance and able to withstand several different climates. In addition, some varieties are used because of their ability to catch the wind and add a sense of movement to the landscape. Proper lawn care services and plant maintenance can help preserve and enhance the beauty of most ornamental plants or grasses.
