Care:

Watering: Regular watering is crucial during the initial growing season to promote root development, even though Pink Muhly Grass is drought-resistant. Once established, deep but infrequent watering is ideal. Allow the soil to dry out before watering again. Organic mulch around the base of the plant can provide benefits like moisture retention, weed suppression, and regulating soil temperature. Just make sure the mulch doesn't touch the stems to prevent rotting. Pruning: To encourage new, vibrant growth, trim back previous year's growth in early spring. Use clean, sharp tools to remove any dead or damaged foliage. Fertilizing is not usually necessary as Pink Muhly Grass
