Richardson's Brome

Northern awnless brome (Bromus pumpellianus) should be watered deeply and often during the first growing season to help the plant become established.

To conserve water, apply a layer of mulch around the plant. Reduce watering during the winter months. Take care not to over water, as this may lead to root rot.

During periods of extreme drought, shade may be beneficial to avoid scorching of the foliage. Generally, Northern Awnless Brome is adapted to moderate temperatures and will thrive in temperate climates regardless of season.

When it comes to pruning Northern Awnless Brome (Bromus pumpellianus), the best approach is to prune in the late fall or early winter. This should be done before the new growth begins in the spring. Start by removing dead or damaged stems, and trim away excess foliage. Doing so will help promote healthier growth, while keeping the plant in shape. At the same time, be careful not to prune too much of the foliage as this can damage the plant. Choose 1 or 2 main stems to keep, and adjust the other branches accordingly.
