Description

This perennial grass has green thin foliage that reaches 1.5' quickly. Pinkish flowers appear in summer. This grass needs full sun and little irrigation. Water every 2-3 weeks, after the grass is established, especially during the summer. This grass creates a wonderful meadow effect. The pollen may cause allergic reactions for some people.

Water Saving Tip:

As the weather gets hotter avoid the temptation to increase run times.

Instead, schedule more start times with one to two hours in between to allow the water from the previous session to soak in before watering again.
