Care Guide: Keep the Lights Dancing
- Light: Thrives in part shade but craves the spotlight of bright, indirect sun to keep its stripes vivid and glowing.
- Soil: Give it well-draining, slightly rich soil—this grass likes to keep its roots snug but not suffocated.
- Watering: Regular watering is its jam. Keep the soil moist, but don’t drown it—this isn’t a bog dweller.
- Feeding: A spring sprinkle of balanced fertilizer fuels its brilliance for the seasons ahead.
- Pruning: Chop back the tired blades in late winter—it’s like hitting refresh for a new burst of energy.
- Hardiness: Hardy down to USDA zone 4, this grass doesn’t flinch at frost—it thrives in it.
