Ornamental Grasses FAQs
Can Tree Source handle bulk ornamental grass orders?
Yes. Bulk orders are a routine part of our business. Our team can source large quantities of landscape grasses, coordinate availability across farms, rewholesale locations, and grower partners, and arrange delivery to the project site. Contact us for volume pricing and sourcing support on larger lists.
What are ornamental grasses typically used for on commercial sites?
Mass plantings, soft living fences along patios and property lines, privacy screens, focal points, and textural contrast against broader-leaved plants. Deep roots also make many species useful for erosion control and slope stabilization. Grasses add movement and sound that few other plants contribute, and the seed heads carry visual interest into winter. Many varieties also support beneficial insects and provide shelter and nesting material for birds.
Which grasses work best on dry sites?
Most grasses prefer full sun and well drained soil, and many are drought tolerant once established. Little bluestem and prairie dropseed both perform on dry sites at modest heights of roughly one and a half to three feet. Blue fescue stays low at six to ten inches but needs excellent drainage. Selection still depends on soil types, exposure, and the design intent, and our team can help match species to the conditions on the ground.
Do any grasses tolerate wet soils, clay, or shade?
Some do. Certain species handle soggy spots and rain garden conditions, and northern sea oats performs reasonably in light shade or partial shade with its wide leaves and arching foliage. Heavy clay is workable for some warm season types, though drainage remains the limiting factor for most grasses. Send your plant list with site details and we can point you toward appropriate selections from current inventory.
When should ornamental grasses be planted and cut back?
Spring planting generally produces the best establishment, with regular watering through the first season. Cool season grasses push new growth in early spring, while warm season grasses green up later and often turn golden in early fall. Deciduous varieties are typically cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth appears, and larger clumps can be divided every few years. Inventory and demand shift through the season, so early planning improves availability on large quantities.
How does delivery work?
We deliver directly to the jobsite across Utah, Idaho, Colorado, Oregon, and the broader Intermountain West. Sharing project details prior to delivery helps our team coordinate inventory and logistics around your installation schedule. Timing depends on location and available inventory, and in many cases delivery can be arranged within roughly 3-4 days.
Does Tree Source sell to homeowners?
No. Tree Source is a wholesale nursery serving landscape contractors, nursery buyers, garden centers, municipalities, landscape architects, general contractors, and other qualified professional buyers.
