Grasses Cultivation:
Plant Morning Light Grass in full sun to light shade, in fertile well
drained soil. "Morning Light" is tolerant of most soil
conditions.
For best growth the next season remove old growth in early spring before
any new growth
emerges.
Propagation: Seeds can be sown after danger of hard
frost has passed. Although an inexpensive way to grow ornamental
grasses the process is very
slow. For quicker growth purchase pre-started plants at your
local garden center.
