Growing Tips & Maintenance

  • Grows best in an average to dry, sandy soil, in full sun to light shade. Leaving foliage adds winter interest if desired, but prune in late winter to make way for new growth. Spreads slowly by rhizome and self-seeds by the tumbleweed method.
Note

Additional Notes

  • Almost native to our area. (Introduced)Warm Season Grasses: These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to midsummer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions. Conversely, extra care should be taken when planting in early spring or late fall.
