Planting Tips ⓘ

To help Panicum virgatum types settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun in average, well-draining soil. It is incredibly adaptable, tolerating a wide range of soil conditions, including heavy clay and periodic wetness, and it becomes quite drought-tolerant once its extensive root system is established. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess nutrients can cause the stems to become weak and prone to flopping. Cut the foliage back to the ground in late winter or early spring to prepare for a fresh season of growth.
