watering
Rough meadow grass (Poa trivialis) prefers moderate, consistent watering. Water deeply but infrequently, providing about 1 inch of water once a week during the growing season, or about once every 2 weeks during the summer. When temperatures rise, increase your watering frequency to every 5 to 7 days. During winter months, only water occasionally if the soil becomes very dry.
sunlight
Rough meadow grass (Poa trivialis) enjoys full sun exposure most of the day, but can tolerate some shade. It thrives when it receives 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. This can be from dawn until noon or later in the day, depending on the intensity of the sunshine. However, it should be protected from intense afternoon sun during the hottest months. A light shade cloth may be used, if necessary, to reduce the intensity of the midday sun during the summer.
pruning
Rough meadow grass (Poa trivialis) should be pruned in the spring, before new growth begins. Pruning should be done lightly, by removing no more than 1/3 of the plant's foliage. Severe pruning or pruning too often can cause dieback and weak growth.
