Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Drought tolerant once established, but thrives with consistent moisture in drier climates.

Remove dead or faded foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth appears. Cut back any overgrown or unruly stems to maintain shape. Deadheading is not typically necessary unless seed dispersal is a concern.

Easily propagated from seed sown directly outdoors in fall or early spring. Can also be propagated by division of established clumps in early spring. Ensure seeds are viable and planted in well-draining soil.

This perennial grass is best left undisturbed once established in its preferred habitat. Repotting is generally not necessary and can be detrimental. If division is performed, it is done during the spring dormant period.
