June grass is a cool-season ornamental grass that is very easy to maintain once established, tolerating a range of soils and light conditions. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry somewhat between sessions. Its silvery-green plumes add fine texture to borders, meadows, and native prairie plantings.
