Notes:
Grasses, long ignored as ornamentals, are now enjoying a growing popularity, especially with the increase in dry gardening techniques.
Cultivation:
For maximum freshness, please keep seed refrigerated in its original packaging until it is time to plant. Sow seed in containers in a cold frame in spring or autumn. Seed may be sown in situ, but there is the problem of birds eating the seeds before they sprout. Grow in dry to damp, neutral to acidic soil in sun or partial shade. Remove previous year's growth before new growth begins in early spring.
