United States Botanic Garden

The outdoor Regional Garden areas and the landscape surrounding the main Conservatory are defined in the fall by the beauty of their grasses. The seed heads of towering switchgrass and feathery miscanthus turn brilliant shades of copper and gold, catching the low autumn sun in spectacular fashion. These plants provide movement and texture that are just as compelling as bright flowers. The overall effect is a highly textural, layered landscape that feels robust and resilient—a testament to the enduring beauty of perennial forms heading into dormancy.
