Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Best grown in a moist to average, well-drained soil, in full sun. It will not tolerate wet sites or a heavy clay soil. Foliage should be cut back close to ground level in early spring. This is a short-lived grass, lasting only a few years.

Additional Notes about Blue Hair Grass:

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.
