Gracillimus Maiden Grass is a warm-season grass. Warm-season grasses put on most of their growth in the heat of summer. They reach their mature height by fall after they push up their showy plumes. These grasses provide excellent winter interest. Leave their foliage in place throughout winter and then cut the clumps of grass to 6 inches above ground before new shoots appear late spring. Divide warm-season grasses in spring to transplant to another area if desired.
 
Care:
Very easy to grow. Keep well-watered the first year to establish a strong root system. Apply an all-pupose fertilizer in spring (after pruning or planting) when new growth appears. 
 
If growing in pots, more watering will be required. In the heat of summer, daily deep watering is recommended.  In winter, water once a month to keep the plants from dehydrating due to frost.
