Caring for Grasses Tips

Trim ornamental grasses in late winter or early spring to stimulate new growth. Fertilize grasses in the spring with a slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Be on the lookout for pests like aphids and mites, and treat promptly with insecticidal soap. Divide overgrown grasses every few years to maintain their vigor.
