Easiest by cutting out plugs from established plants. Grown in sun or partial shade, they do not like drought.





Another way to grow them is to plant them in a deep flat about three to four inches deep, or in a shallow pot. An "azalea pot" works well, which is a pot that is wider than it is deep, like eight inches across but only 4-6 inches deep. This method of growing the plants in shallow containers helps them spread faster and make more leaf growth. The roots will spread horizontally and then grow upwards to make more shoots.





WATERING should be done thoroughly, keeping plants constantly moist but not overwhelmingly wet. Never let the soil surface dry out completely, as dryness or drought is the major cause of death of a sweetgrass patch. The leaves will curl when the soil is getting excessively dry, and if still green, can revive with a thorough watering.





FULL SUN is best for plants that are grown north of New Jersey, Iowa, Colorado, and central California. When growing in the South, Midwest, Southwest and southern California, it is best to keep plants in part shade, especially in an area out of the afternoon sun from 3 P.M. onwards. Do not grow the plant indoors.





FERTILIZER is needed at least 2-3 times during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer. If you use chemical fertilizer, a lawn-starter fertilizer is best, but do not use chemical fertilizers because they can "burn" the plants. For each plant, fertilize with two tablespoons each of blood meal and bone meal, each month during the growing season.





This is a very invasive plant, use caution in determining it's location in your landscape.
