Care and watering
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water deeply while establishing, then water moderately; avoid waterlogged soil. In winter, reduce irrigation and let the mulch protect the roots.
Maintenance
Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring and remove spent plumes to keep tidy. Divide every 3–4 years if clumps become crowded. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
Location
Place in borders or massed groups in sunny, sheltered spots. Allow 2–3 ft of space between plants; avoid highly humid, poorly drained sites.
Tips
Use a light mulch, avoid overhead irrigation, and protect from strong winds. Tall Tails adds motion and texture to mixed borders and container plantings.
