Where can I plant short grasses?
Low-growing grasses
Use shorter varieties of ornamental grasses (15to 30 centimeters) to fill small holes in your rock garden or to add interest to a bed beside a walkway. For a shorter variety, try planting Blue Fescue (Festuca ovina glauca) which grows to 20cm., prefers sun, dry soil and is wonderful silvery blue color or
Sheeps Fescue (Festuca cinera) which will also grow to 20cm, prefers dry to moist soil and is green in color.
