Plicate sweet grass is a moisture-loving perennial grass that thrives along stream banks, pond margins, and boggy areas where soil stays consistently wet. Plant in sun to partial shade and never allow the roots to dry out completely, as it naturally grows in waterlogged or riparian habitats. It is a low-fuss plant once sited correctly, spreading steadily to form attractive clumps.
