Available in sets of three, six, or 12 plants to create a lush, native grass habitat in your garden.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Prefers full sun for best flowering and performance. Well-drained soil is essential; tolerates sandy or rocky soils.
2. Watering: Water regularly until established; afterward, it is highly drought-tolerant.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
