🌾 Plant Care Tips:

Light:
Thrives in full sun (6+ hours daily), but many varieties can tolerate partial shade.

Watering:
Water regularly to keep soil lightly moist, especially during dry spells. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Avoid soggy soil.

Soil:
Prefers well-drained soil. When planting in the ground or larger containers, mix in compost to improve drainage and nutrients.

Temperature:
Great for late summer through fall displays. Many varieties tolerate light frost, but hard freezes may end the season.

Fertilizing:
No fertilizer needed during the fall season. If overwintering, fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer.

Pruning:
Not required for fall décor. For perennial varieties, cut back in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh new growth.

🍂 Perfect For:

• Pairing with mums, pumpkins, and gourds

• Mixed fall containers and front porch displays

• Adding height, movement, and texture to garden beds

• Transitioning summer planters into the fall season

🌟 Design Tip: Use ornamental grass as a vertical accent in containers with mums and pansies, or as a natural backdrop in layered fall arrangements.
