Plant Scout Maiden Grass in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Space plants 3-4 feet apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, water moderately. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer. Cut back old foliage to 4-6 inches above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
