Perched on a sinuous stone wall at Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art in Nashville, the Terazo Planter by Frontgate shows just how well suited grasses are for containers. The ‘Cabaret’ miscanthus centerpiece is encircled by Chamaecyparis pisifera ‘Golden Mop’, Euphorbia ‘Diamond Frost’, Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’, Stachys byzantina ‘Big Ears’, Lonicera nitida Edmee Gold™ and Miscanthus sinensis ‘Gold Bar’.
