Excellent specimen plant for dry, poor or alkaline soils. Dramatic seed plumes in autumn/winter add visual interest. A better choice than pampas grass for central Texas gardens. Although this ornamental grass thrives on full, hot sun and very little water, I've found stands of this native grass growing wild in deeply shaded gulleys near wet-weather creekbeds in the Texas Hill Country. Burn or cut to the ground in late February (Texas) for regrowth in spring.
