Hare's-tail grass thrives in full sun and is remarkably easy to grow in well-drained soil with minimal fuss. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid waterlogging, as it tolerates short dry spells once established. Its soft, fluffy seed heads make it a charming addition to borders, containers, and dried arrangements.
