Growing Tips & Maintenance

  • Native to southwest US, but listed as invasive in California. Best grown in full sun and a well-drained soil. Clumps should be pruned in early spring before the new growth resumes. This species performs as a perennial through zone 6 but is usually a reseeding annual in areas with colder winters.
Note

Additional Notes

  • Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and start again when temperatures start to cool in the fall. During the warmer summer months, they stop growing and some will even go dormant. Cool season grasses flower in the spring or early summer. Most cool season grasses grow best in a consistently moist soil.
