Harding grass prefers consistent moisture, especially during establishment. Water deeply when the top 5-7 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as it can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency once established, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings during dry periods.

Pruning is primarily for shaping and removing dead or damaged foliage. For ornamental purposes, trim back foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

This encourages vigorous new shoots and maintains a tidy appearance. Remove any flowering stalks after blooming if seed production is undesirable.

Harding grass is typically propagated by seed or division. Sow seeds in spring or autumn. For division, carefully separate established clumps in spring or autumn, ensuring each division has healthy roots and shoots.

Plant divisions at the same depth as the parent plant and water thoroughly.

Repotting is generally not applicable to harding grass as it is a perennial grass often grown in the ground or in large containers.

If grown in a container and it becomes root-bound, repot into a slightly larger container in spring. Ensure the new container has adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging.
