Winter is often a time of reflection, where we start to think about how we want our gardens to look next year. Among the plants we switch out, it's important to establish some reliable foundations that provide a framework for the yard.

They explain the grasses provide a permanent foundation, decorated by spring bulbs. The grasses then hide the unsightly fading flowers and foliage later in the year, making it an effective duo.
