Plant Care

Bronze Veil Tufted Hair Grass is a low-maintenance perennial that requires minimal care once established. Regular watering during the first growing season helps develop a strong root system. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Division may be necessary every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigor and prevent center die-out.

This versatile grass tolerates a range of soil conditions but thrives in consistently moist, well-draining soil. While drought tolerant once established, regular watering during dry spells will maintain its best appearance. Remove spent flower heads if self-seeding is not desired.

Planting Instructions

Plant Bronze Veil Tufted Hair Grass in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is at soil level. Backfill with soil, firming gently to eliminate air pockets.

Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature spread. In mass plantings, space closer together for a denser effect.
