Splitting and dividing ornamental grasses rejuvenates plants, increases stock economically, controls size, and reduces disease risk.
Watering ornamental grasses properly is key to their care. Initially, water deeply to establish roots. Once established, most varieties are drought-tolerant, requiring minimal watering.
Prune ornamental grasses in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. This timing prevents damage to new shoots and ensures the plant looks its best throughout the growing season.
Fertilize ornamental grasses lightly in the spring as new growth appears. We use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Over-fertilization can lead to weak growth and fewer blooms. Stick to minimal feeding for robust, healthy plants.
These grasses thrive in the heat of summer, starting their growth in late spring or early summer and peaking in growth and flowering during the hot summer months. They're dormant in winter and should be cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
These varieties begin growing in early spring and can show a flush of growth in the fall. They often maintain some green coloration throughout the winter, depending on the climate. Cool-season grasses can benefit from being cut back in early spring or, for evergreen types, just cleaned up to remove dead foliage. Examples include Festuca (Fescue) and Calamagrostis (Feather Reed Grass).
