The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

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.
