💡 Care Tip: After arrival, plant the freshly dug clump as soon as practical and water thoroughly. Keep the soil consistently moist while the roots establish, but avoid waterlogged conditions. Provide full sun for the strongest growth and most attractive foliage. The small starter clump will gradually expand and develop into a larger ornamental grass clump with proper care. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
