Ornamental Grasses

YOU KNOW OUR GRASSES BECAUSE WE KNOW OUR GRASSES.

Nearly 30 years ago, Emerald Coast Growers opened for business propagating ornamental grasses exclusively. Our lineup has since expanded dramatically into other arenas, but grasses remain our signature product.

Because, after all, we’re the grass company.
