Ornamental grasses combine for a low maintenance container garden.

Combine a number of ornamental grasses to make a container garden that's unique and low maintenance says show host Kim Haworth. Here's how: - Start with a 12-14 inch clay pot, and cover its drain hole with a broken pottery shard or a piece of plastic window screen.
- Fill the pot halfway with good potting soil, and scatter a bit of slow release, balanced fertilizer such as 14-14-14 on top.
- Break up the roots of a large potted grass with your fingers, and set it in the center of the container.
- Add other grass varieties to the mix, balancing textures and colors and planting ivy to cascade over the front.
