How To Grow and Care for Dwarf Gracillimus Maiden Grass

If you're considering adding Dwarf Gracillimus Maiden Grass to your garden, follow these guidelines to ensure successful growth:

Planting

Choose a location with well-draining soil and full to partial sunlight. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the plant and place it in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill the hole with soil and water thoroughly.

Watering

While Miscanthus sinensis 'gracillimus nana' is drought-tolerant, adequate watering during its establishment period is crucial. Water deeply once or twice a week, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Once established, regular rainfall should be sufficient, but you may need to water during prolonged dry periods.

Feeding

Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper dosage and application.

Pruning

In late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, prune back the foliage to about 6 inches above the ground. This rejuvenation pruning helps maintain the plant's vigor and prevents it from becoming too dense.
