Growing & Maintenance Tips
This plant is native to southern South America. It grows best in full sun and a fertile, moist soil, however, they can tolerate a range of soils and some drought, once established. Plant crowns need protection from winter wind and cold. Prune foliage in early spring to make way for new growth.
Notes
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.
