Planting and care

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil, preferably in fall or spring. Avoid spots that are too wet in winter, which could rot the crown. Spacing should be at least 60 cm to allow the clump to develop.

Regular watering the first year ensures it takes well. Once established, since this grass tolerates drought well, watering can be reduced. Cut the clump back to the ground in late winter before new growth. No particular fertilizing is needed in normal garden soil.
