Planting and care

Prepare a planting hole that is 20x20x20cm (8x8x8in) in size. If your soil is heavy, mix some compost with the crumbled soil, partially fill the hole, and place your plant so that the top of the root ball is covered with 3cm (1in) of soil. Firmly press down and water generously to eliminate air pockets. If the weather is dry, you will need to water regularly for a few weeks to facilitate the establishment of your young plant. Grasses remain decorative all year round but renew their foliage in spring. We recommend pruning your plants to 10cm (4in) in late January or early February for a clean-up pruning and to make room for new foliage.
