• Grows best in a moist, well-drained or sandy soil, in full sun to light shade. If planted in too much shade this grass will not flourish and may not flower. Grass should be planted with the crown slightly above or at soil level. Foliage should be cut back to almost ground level in early spring to allow for new growth. Pennisetum orientale very rarely self-seeds.

• 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.
