Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Grows best in an average to dry soil, in full sun to partial shade. Foliage will add winter interest, but prune in late winter to make way for new growth. Not suited for small landscapes. Well-suited to dry sunny slopes and will self-seed in optimum conditions.
Additional Notes
- Native to Ontario and much of North America. Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and continue until 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.
