Wood melick is an elegant, shade-tolerant ornamental grass well suited to woodland gardens and shaded borders. It thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and dappled light beneath trees, making it ideal for underplanting. Water regularly during dry spells and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigour.
