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:

Different areas of your landscape have different water requirements.

Shrubs need much less water than lawns and drip systems should never be scheduled on the same program with lawns.

Establish separate watering schedules for those areas.
