Planting a Calamagrostis

This ornamental grass flourishes in nutrient-rich, damp soil, but can easily acclimate to various conditions. For optimal leaf and plume growth, plant in full sunlight; in hotter summer climates, partial shade can be beneficial. During the initial growing season, ensure deep and regular watering to establish a strong root system; once established, it can withstand periods of drought. To maintain its lush appearance, cut back to the ground in late winter, right before new shoots emerge.
