Ashwood Nurseries

We invite you to browse through our catalogue where you will find our extensive range of ornamental grasses, including sedges and rushes. We feel sure you will be impressed with the wealth of varieties on offer  and you may be assured that our containerised plants are not only top quality and disease-free but  are all lovingly tended and watered by hand.

Grasses are so versatile and always give an extra dimension to a planting scheme, adding colour, texture, form and movement to the landscape, with flowers and seed heads to suit all tastes. Try grasses with pale coloured flowered flowers and silver foliage subjects for a tranquil planting scheme or with brightly coloured flowers and bold foliage subjects for a more dynamic effect.

Grasses can be used in prairie style planting, gravel and scree gardens, poolside planting, or in more traditional herbaceous and mixed borders, while some of the smaller varieties make good subjects for pots. Whatever your planting style, don’t be in a hurry to cut your grasses back in autumn as they are indispensable in the winter garden, magical when touched by a hoar frost or sparkling in golden winter sunlight.

If possible do come and visit us and you will find our ornamental grasses imaginatively displayed in our inspirational sales area and see many of them growing in our beautiful nursery show garden. Please note that all plants are subject to availability and most are seasonal. Expert gardening advice is always freely given.

Why not visit on one of  ‘John’s Garden Open Days’  and you will see how the nursery owner John Massey has used ornamental grasses to stunning effect in his own private garden.

We offer a very personal and friendly mail order service, with expert advice always on hand. If you can’t see what you are looking for please ask and we may be able to help: we are more than happy to discuss your requirements.
