Why Choose Cape Breeze Switch Grass: – Compact size for tight spaces – Upright, tidy growth habit – Easy to maintain and versatile – Great for layering in landscape designs
Ideal for homeowners who want the look of ornamental grass without the size or maintenance of larger varieties.
Why Add Ornamental Grasses to Your Landscape?
Low Maintenance Performance: Most ornamental grasses require minimal pruning and thrive with little upkeep once established.
Movement & Texture: Flowing blades and feathery plumes create dynamic visual interest that changes with light and wind.

These were exactly what we were hoping for. The foliage has a really nice golden tint that brightens up our yard compared to the typical dark green arborvitae. Plants arrived healthy and planted easily. Very happy with the purchase.

The crew was very friendly and walked the property with me before planting so we could discuss where the trees would be planted. They were very thorough and left the property clean afterwards. Definitely recommend their installation service.
