Plant Care

This low-maintenance grass requires minimal attention once established. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove dead leaves as needed and divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor. While drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during the first growing season ensures strong root development.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants 2-3 feet apart to allow for mature spread. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
