How to Grow Lovegrass
Lovegrass grows best in full sun and quick-draining loam and sandy soil. An easy-to-grow grass, it tolerates a wide range of planting sites. It tolerates part shade (but will have a loose, open habit) and in clay soil. Plant lovegrass in spring, then water it regularly during the first month. Continue watering weekly during the first growing season when rain does not fall. Established plants have good drought tolerance. Lovegrass requires little maintenance. Simply cut plants back to ground level in early spring before new growth emerges. Lovegrass may self-seed but is not invasive. Plants are easy to divide. In spring dig up the entire clump. Use a sharp spade to cut the clump into three or four sections and replant. Water divisions well.
