This ornamental grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Ensure the plant receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth. Water regularly during the establishment phase, then reduce frequency as it becomes drought-tolerant. Trim back old foliage in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to floppy growth; a light application of a balanced fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. This plant adds striking vertical interest and texture to landscapes with its unique foliage and plume-like seed heads.
