Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Best grown in a slightly acidic, moist soil, in full to partial shade, this luzula will tolerate a range of soils, and even periods of drought. Divide every few years to maintain size and shape. May self-seed in optimum conditions, so removal of flowers may be necessary.

Additional Notes about Snowy Woodrush:


Cool Season Grasses: These grasses do the majority of their growing in early spring and start again when temperatures start to cool in the fall. During the warmer summer months, they stop growing and some will even go dormant. Cool season grasses flower in the spring or early summer. Most cool season grasses grow best in a consistently moist soil.
