Growing & Maintenance Tips

Grows best in a moist to average soil, in full sun to partial shade. Foliage adds winter interest, but prune (if desired) in late winter to make way for new growth. Not suited for small landscapes due to its self-seeding nature. This is a good grass for erosion control because of its fibrous root system.

Notes

Native to Ontarioand much of North America.
