     CONTEMPORARY PRODUCT GUIDE

Gorgeous ornamental grasses give a smooth look in spring and a show-stopping performance in fall. The dramatic cycle is a welcome mark of the seasons in a climate where autumn leaves are often late on arrival. Fall-blooming native grasses front this subtle blend of forms and blue, green and gold foliage colors. Lemon and olive trees provide shade and elegance. A perfect compliment to Modern hardscape features. Choose a more minimalist design with ʻ White Cloudʼ muhly grass and succulents. Or go electric with ʻPink Mistʼ Muhlenbergia, Mexican bush sage and Acacia cognata ʻ Cousin Ittʼ.

All grasses go dormant or get cutback heavily in winter. Add low-growing ceanothus groundcovers or bulbs underneath where more winter color is desired. Native hairgrass (Deschampsia caes.) isnʼt always available so we swap it for Bouteloua gracilis or Carex pansa if needed.
