Ornamental Grasses FAQ
How to Care for White Fountain Grass?
Caring for White Fountain Grass involves providing it with ample sunlight and regular watering. Plant it in a location with full sun exposure, ensuring it receives at least six to eight hours of sunlight each day. Water the grass when the topsoil feels dry to the touch, aiming for consistently moist but not soggy conditions. Prune back the grass in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and maintain its attractive form.
When to Cut Back Ornamental Grasses?
Ornamental grasses, including fountain grasses, are typically cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This practice helps rejuvenate the plants, remove dead or damaged foliage, and encourage a fresh, vibrant appearance. Cutting back in late winter also allows for better visibility of the emerging shoots.
