Water regularly during establishment and periods of drought, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Once established, Crested Dogstail Grass is quite drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Mowing is the primary form of 'pruning' for this grass, typically kept at a height of 2. 5-7. 5 cm. For ornamental purposes or to maintain a tidy appearance, you can trim it back after flowering.

Remove any dead or damaged foliage in late winter or early spring.

Crested Dogstail Grass is easily propagated by seed, which can be sown directly into prepared soil in spring or autumn. It also spreads naturally through rhizomes, and established clumps can be divided in spring or autumn for vegetative propagation.

As a perennial grass typically grown in situ or as groundcover, repotting is generally not applicable. If grown in containers for specific aesthetic purposes, repotting would occur when the plant becomes root-bound, usually every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger container.
