Well-draining sandy loam or gravelly mix; tolerates poor soil conditions.
Drought tolerant once established. Water deeply but infrequently to prevent root rot. Reduce significantly in winter dormancy.
Requires full sun (6+ hours daily) for optimal plume production and foliage color.
Low nutrient needs. Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring only if growth is poor. Avoid over-fertilizing.
Cut back dead foliage to ground level in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
