Planting Instructions (from a 4" pot into the ground)

1. Timing: Plant in spring after frost danger has passed or in early fall to allow roots to establish.

2. Location: Choose a site with full sun to part shade and well-draining but moderately moist soil.

3. Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the pot and equal in depth. Enrich poor soil with compost for best performance.

4. Planting: Remove the plant from the pot, gently loosen roots, and place so the crown is level with the soil surface.

5. Backfill: Refill hole with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly to settle.

6. Spacing: Space plants 24–30 inches apart for mature clump development.

7. Aftercare: Water regularly during the first season to establish deep roots. Once mature, it needs only occasional watering during dry periods. Cut back to 3–6 inches above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

🌾 Northern Sea Oats brings graceful movement, multi-season interest, and reliable hardiness to gardens, performing beautifully in sun or shade while requiring very little care once established.
