watering

The giant rye grass should be watered generously and regularly for best results. Aim to water the grass 1 to 2 times a week during the growing season (April to September), making sure to saturate the entire root zone each time. During the winter period (October to March), watering should be reduced to once a month. In particular, make sure that the soil does not completely dry out during this time. To avoid overwatering, make sure to check the soil for moisture before watering. The amount of water you give each time will depend on the weather and climate, as well as the size of the plants and how much sun they are receiving.

sunlight

Giant rye grass (Leymus condensatus 'Canyon Prince') prefers full sun, meaning 6 or more hours of sunlight exposure every day. While this plant can also grow in partial shade, it will better tolerate drought and heat with more sun. During peak summer months, Giant Rye Grass should receive morning sun and afternoon shade to prevent scorching and keep these grasses healthy and vigorous.

pruning

Pruning of Giant Rye Grass (Leymus condensatus 'Canyon Prince') should be done in early spring, before the plants start actively growing. Pruning should be done to remove any dead or damaged leaves or stems as well as to thin out the overgrown grass. In general, prune the grass to a height of 4-6 inches, leaving a few healthy, mature leaves to encourage growth. It is important to remember that the grass should remain thick and open for airflow and to lower the risk of fungal disease. During dry periods, pruning should be minimized as it can cause the grass to go dormant and become dehydrated. If the grass becomes too tall due to lack of trimming, it can be cut back to the desired height and the clippings can be composted.
