Water regularly, especially during establishment and dry periods, to maintain consistently moist soil. Avoid waterlogging, but do not let the soil dry out completely.

In its natural habitat, it thrives in damp or wet conditions along streambanks, so consistent moisture is key for optimal growth.

Pruning is usually minimal. Remove dead or damaged foliage at any time of year.

To maintain a tidy appearance or to encourage denser growth, you can cut back the grass in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This also helps prevent self-seeding.

Propagate by division of established clumps in early spring or autumn. Sow seeds in autumn or early spring. Seeds generally germinate readily under moist conditions.

Division is straightforward and effective for maintaining desired characteristics.

This perennial grass is typically grown in the ground and does not require frequent repotting. If grown in containers, repot in early spring when roots become crowded.

Use a well-draining potting mix and ensure the container has adequate drainage holes.
