✂️ Care

Very easy to grow and low-maintenance, this ornamental grass adapts to most conditions. Allow it to grow naturally for an airy and elegant habit, or lightly prune to maintain a compact shape.

Regularly remove faded inflorescences to encourage continuous production of delicate new panicles. Cut back to the ground in spring before new growth to rejuvenate the plant and maintain its vigor.
