watering
Foxtail Brome should be watered moderately. During active growth, water when the soil feels dry to the touch approximately once per week. During the winter months, the plant may require less water and can be watered every 2 weeks. If it rains, the plant does not need to be watered.
sunlight
Foxtail Brome (Bromus rubens) is a cool season grass that prefers full sun. It requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to grow and thrive. The more sunlight it receives, the more lush and robust it will be. It should be exposed to sunlight from early morning until late afternoon for best results. When grown in shade, foxtail brome may not survive, and will likely become etiolated.
pruning
Foxtail Brome (Bromus rubens) should be pruned in the spring, beginning when the plant begins to turn green. Prune back any dead, dying, or damaged stems, then reduce the remaining stems by about 2-thirds to encourage denser growth. This species can become very tall, so it is important to be diligent in monitoring and pruning the plant as needed to keep it within its desired size.
