After Arrival

Unpack the plants promptly and check the soil moisture. Let them recover in a bright, sheltered location before planting. Gradually increase their exposure to direct sun and wind over several days. Temporary wilting or minor leaf damage can occur during shipping.

Planting and Care

Plant in well-drained soil after frost danger has passed and outdoor conditions are warm. For containers, use a pot with drainage holes and leave room for growth. Water thoroughly after planting, then water when the upper soil begins to dry. Avoid keeping the roots constantly soggy.

Feed during active growth according to the directions on a balanced fertilizer. If plants become top-heavy in exposed locations, place containers in a sheltered position or provide support as needed. Mature size and plume production vary with climate, sunlight, container size, and care.

Seasonal Note

Purple fountain grass is frost sensitive and is often grown as a warm-season annual where winters are cold. Before freezing weather, containers may be moved into a bright, frost-free location. Check local guidance before planting outdoors, since regulations and growing behavior can vary by region.
