#ProPlantTips for Care:

Native Prairie Grasses and Ornamental Grasses do their absolute best in full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day and plant grasses in very well-drained soil that won't ever get soggy. This is an extremely cold hardy grass and grows in almost any soil. Provide a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the soil surface and water new plants regularly until they are established. Prune these warm-season grasses in the spring before new growth emerges.
