Rough dog's-tail is a low-maintenance ornamental grass that adapts well to average garden soils with moderate moisture. It performs best in open or partially shaded positions and requires little more than occasional watering and removal of old growth in late winter. It is best used in naturalistic plantings or meadow-style gardens.
