Maintenance and care

Reed grass is easy to maintain. In early spring, you can cut back the old foliage to about 10 cm above the ground. This stimulates new growth and ensures that your ornamental grass looks fresh and full every year. The grass is well resistant to drought but also thrives in moist soils. Water occasionally during extreme drought for the best growth.
