Planting Aspects

  1. Site Selection: Choose a location with full sun to light shade. Provide adequate sunlight for healthy growth.

  2. Soil Preparation: Prepare well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Purple Moor Grass 'Edith Dudszus' prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil.

  3. Planting Depth: Plant at a depth similar to its nursery container depth. The crown of the plant should be level with the soil surface.

  4. Spacing: Space plants about 1 to 2 feet apart to allow for their mature spread.

  5. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the establishment period. Water regularly but avoid waterlogged conditions.

  6. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

  7. Maintenance: Prune away faded flower stalks and old foliage in late winter or early spring to make way for new growth.

  8. Fertilizing: A light application of balanced fertilizer in spring can support healthy growth.

  9. Winter Care: The plant's foliage adds winter interest. Cut back old growth in late winter to early spring.
