Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Grows best in an average to dry well-drained soil, in full sun. Leaving foliage adds winter interest if desired, but prune in late winter to make way for new growth. Spreads by rhizome and self-seeds by the tumbleweed method.

Additional Notes about Sand Love Grass:

Warm Season Grasses: These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to midsummer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions.
