TheGrowing ornamental grasses in containersis a great way to showcase the grasses without having to worry about them spreading or overgrowing the garden. Furthermore, higher-growing varieties are perfect as privacy screens for terraces and balconies.

Tall grasses in pots are usually used to screen or visually separate different areas in the garden or on the terrace. If the selected grass fulfills a privacy protection function, then you have to choose species that grow quickly and form a dense growth. Some grasses grow broadly and are therefore less suitable for this purpose. So you have to pay attention to the mature width of the ornamental grass and its shape. Because there's nothing worse than whispering leaves tickling your nose while you're having a drink in the evening. Luckily, there are some grasses that have a more vertical rather than spherical shape, meaning they grow tall without overhanging too much.
In order for these types of ornamental grass to reach a sufficient height, they need sufficiently large containers and good care. Another tip: You can simply plant varieties that don't grow tall enough in taller pots.
