Easy to grow, sterile flowers eliminates chances of this grass becoming invasive. Considered a cool season grass, growth begins in early spring and lasts until early winter. The growth habit is vertical with a tuft of foliage 2 to 3 feet tall and flower stems to 5 feet in height. The grass prefers well-drained soil, but tolerates heavy, clay soils, according to the Perennial Plant Association. It also tolerates sunny or partial shade conditions and grows reliably in zones 4-9.
