Growing Information

Sow seeds indoors from February to April or directly outdoors from April to June. Sow thinly on the surface of moist compost and cover very lightly. Keep moist until germination.

Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle and plant outdoors after the risk of frost has passed. Pony Tails grass prefers a sunny position and well-drained soil. Once established, it is fairly low-maintenance and drought tolerant.
