Plant Care

Ribbon Grass is a low-maintenance perennial that requires minimal attention once established. Cut back the foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This grass can spread vigorously, so consider planting in containers or using barriers to control its growth. Regular division every 2-3 years helps maintain plant health and vigor.

Planting Instructions

Plant Ribbon Grass in spring or fall, spacing plants 24-36 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown.
