Rough Hair Grass

Rough Hair Grass should be watered once a week, taking care not to over-water. About 1-2 inches of water is sufficient. To prevent water loss due to evaporation, water early in the morning or late evening. Make sure to avoid wetting the foliage to prevent the spread of fungal and bacterial diseases. If you notice any of the foliage wilting, water more frequently.

Rough Hair Grass (Agrostis scabra) is a perennial grass species that grows well in sunny to partial shade locations. It prefers full sun in the morning with some afternoon shade, as too much direct sunlight for too long can cause leaf scorch and stress the plant. Ideally, the plant should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day throughout the growing season.

Rough Hair Grass should be pruned twice during the year, once in late spring and again in early fall. Pruning should be done to remove dead plant material and rejuvenate the grass and keep it looking its best. To prune Rough Hair Grass, use sharp shears and cut back the grass in clumps to 1/3 of its original height and then spread mulch or fertilizer around the grass to promote new growth. Remove any dead or dying foliage throughout the season.
