Grasses Plant

Fertilization:

As ornamental grasses are very low-maintenance, fertilization is not normally necessary. If your grasses are looking shabby, add some mushroom manure to your soil to give them a boost.

How to Plant:

When planting ornamental grass make sure they are planted slightly raised above grade to prevent root rot. Remember most will survive drought conditions better than wet conditions.

When to Plant:

The best times to plant your ornamental grasses are spring and fall. It is also acceptable to plant in summer, just make sure they are irrigated well.

When to Prune:

To rejuvenate your grasses, prune back in early to mid spring. The pruning will invigorate the grass and lush new growth will emerge in abundance.

Diseases and Pests: Ornamental grasses are notoriously disease and pest free. Many are also deer resistant.
