Dwarf mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus ‘Nana’) is a Japanese plant that has charmed the gardens of the world. A decorative, low growing plant, this plant looks best when grouped together but sometimes there may only be a few plants available. This is where dwarf mondo grass propagation comes in handy. There are two propagation methods available for dwarf mondo grass. One is planting dwarf mondo grass seeds and the other is division of your plant.[图片]Dwarf Mondo Grass Seeds If you decided to grow dwarf mondo grass seeds, be aware that they are finicky and you may have trouble getting them to grow. They may also not grow true to the parent plant. This is the more difficult of dwarf mondo grass propagation. Harvest seeds yourself and plant immediately. Seeds you buy will have a lower germination rate the less fresh they are. Plant your seeds in sterile potting soil and place the pots in a cold frame or other cool area. These seeds will germinate best in cooler temperatures. Keep the dwarf mondo grass seeds moist at all times. Wait two weeks to six months for seeds to germinate. They will germinate at irregular times. Some may sprout in two weeks, while others will take much longer.[图片]Dwarf Mondo Grass Division A much easier and sure fire way of dwarf mondo grass propagation is through division. This way you can plant dwarf mondo grass that is exactly like the parent and you will have a much more uniform look to your plants. For division, dig up a well established clump of dwarf mondo grass. Use your hands to break the clump into smaller clumps or use a sharp, clean knife to cut the clump into smaller clumps.[图片]Plant the dwarf mondo grass clumps in the locations you would like them to grow in. Water them thoroughly and weep well watered for the first few weeks until them become established. The best time to divide your mondo grass in in the early spring or early fall.

Mondo grass is also known as monkey grass. It is an evergreen perennial that makes a great groundcover or standalone grass-like plant. These plants perform well in almost any soil and lighting condition. Mondo grass is a slow growing plant that can be divided to make more of them and requires minimal care once established. A truly attractive and outstanding landscape plant with a multitude of uses, it is well worth the gardener’s time to learn how to grow mondo grass.[图片]Mondo Grass Information Mondo grass can tolerate almost anything, including deer, but fails without adequate moisture. What is mondo grass? It is not a true grass but does have strappy leaves and a clumping habit. In summer it brightens up the area with lavender or white flowers that develop into glossy black fruit. Growing mondo grass is easy, as the plant withstands neglect in regions where plentiful moisture is naturally available. Once established, you can pretty much forget about the plant unless you want to go check out its seasonal beauty, or it is time to divide it.[图片]Imagine great grassy tussocks shrunk down to fairly land size and you can envision mondo grass. These small plants grow only 6 to 10 inches tall (15 to 25 cm.) and have a clumping or mounding nature depending upon variety. Ophiopogon japonicus is the scientific name and refers to the plant’s native region of Asia. The components of the name are derived from the Latin words for snake and beard, a reference to the spiky flowers. As a lawn substitute in shady to partially sunny locations, it is a great sod alternative that never needs mowing. Mondo grass spreads by stolons, or underground stems, and can slowly form dense colonies. Leaves are ½ inch wide (1.3 cm.) and glossy green or even variegated.[图片]How to Grow Mondo Grass Mondo grass care is extremely minimal but you do need to choose the correct site and prepare the bed for best results. Plants are light green in full sun but deeper green in shade. Either location works well provided soil is well draining and free of competitive weeds. You can separate clumps into sections, each with several stolons and plant 4 to 12 inches (10-30 cm.) apart depending on how quickly you want the area to fill in. Dwarf mondo should be planted 2 to 4 inches (5-10 cm.) apart. Cover roots and stolons with loose soil but avoid covering the crown of the plant. Keep soil moderately moist during establishment.[图片]Mondo Grass Care If you are growing mondo grass as a lawn, there is little you need to maintain it. Remove any weeds as they appear and keep the area moist in the dry season. After winter storms, leaves may be ragged and can be trimmed back a bit for best appearance. Divide clumps every 3 years if grown as standalone plants. Mondo grass needs very little fertilizing. A once annual feeding in spring with a diluted grass feed is sufficient. Any mondo grass information should list its pest and disease issues. Snailsand slugsmay be a problem as can the pest scale. Disease issues are fungal and form during wet, warm periods. Serious damage by any of these is unlikely. There are numerous cultivars from which to choose, with variant flower colors and size. There is even a black-leaved mondo, which is an excellent foil for both green-leaved plants and brightly colored flora.[图片]

Native plants make excellent additions to the home landscape. They are naturalized to the region and thrive without extra babying. Marsh fern plants are native to North America and Eurasia. What is a marsh fern? These ferns are adapted to full to partial sun locations and almost any soil. They are attractive, medium sized ferns that add a lush texture to the garden. Marsh fern care is minimal and the plant is fairly winter hardy. Read on for more marsh fern info and decide if this plant is right for your landscape.[图片]What is Marsh Fern? Marsh fern plants (Thelypteris palustris) have erect stems and occasionally pendant fronds. The plant is deciduous and loses its leaves in winter. An interesting piece of marsh fern info regards the two sets of leaves it bears. One is the smaller fertile frond and the other is a larger infertile frond. Leaves are compound and pinnate with individual leaflets deeply divided and lance to oval shaped. There may be 10 to 40 pairs of leaflets on each leaf. The leaflets curve downward along their veins. Fertile leaves bear sori on the underside of the leaflets. These are small roundish rusty brown, fuzzy structures which contain the reproductive material of the fern. Marsh fern plants provide that perfect balance between tough and delicate. Their finely cut fronds are airy and lacy while their stoic nature makes them standout plants for the common sense gardener. All it really requires is shelter from the hottest rays of the day and consistent water to produce beautifully cut foliage year after year.[图片]Growing Marsh Ferns Marsh ferns thrive in boggy to moderately wet regions. Growing marsh ferns in the home landscape will require a location that mimics such conditions or constant irrigation. Sandy, acid soil provides the best medium, but this adaptable plant can survive in almost any medium as long as it is moist but not in standing water. Try growing marsh ferns around the edges of a water feature or pond, or along a swale where water collects in the rainy season. They are relatively unbothered by disease or pests. Remove any spent foliage as it occurs for best appearance. The plants pair well with other native species and ferns, such as Epimedium and marsh marigolds.[图片]Marsh Fern Care In cold climates with sustained freezes, apply mulch, such as organic bark or straw, around the plant’s crown to protect the root zone. You may want to cut off the spent fronds and make a teepee around the top of the plant. This cocoons it and adds extra protection. Remove the foliage and mulch in early spring so new fronds can break through. Ferns generally need no fertilization in average soil. If your soil is poor, use a balanced all-purpose food, diluted by half in early spring. Otherwise, marsh fern care couldn’t be easier. The plant has a moderate growth rate and regal appearance which is a boon to any garden.

Zebra grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Zebrinus’) is native to Japan and one of the Miscanthus maiden grass cultivars, all of which are used as ornamental grasses. Zebra grass plants die back in winter but are perennial and re-sprout in spring. The grasses provide four seasons of interest with young spring variegated striped foliage, summer copper colored inflorescence, fall golden leaves and winter texture and form. Zebra ornamental grass can get up to 6 feet high and produces a spectacular screen or specimen plant.[图片]Characteristics of Zebra Grass Plants There are few showier plants for the garden. Zebra ornamental plants have long arching leaves with appealing stripes across the width, like dappled foliage in the sun. The plant is perennial but the foliage dies off in cold weather, leaving an architecturally interesting skeleton. It produces brand new deep green leaves in spring that begin to show more and more golden striping as the leaf matures. The plants are hardy to USDA plant hardiness zones 4 to 9. Choose a sunny to partially sunny location when growing zebra grass. Its clumping habit makes it perfect when planted in groups as a hedge or alone in a container.[图片]Site Conditions for Growing Zebra Grass Hot sunny summers help the plant form copper colored, feathery inflorescences in September. The plant then produces fluffy seeds, which provide airy distraction to the late fall foliage. This grass produces best in moist soils or even boggy riparian edges but established grasses can tolerate short periods of drought. USDA zones 5 to 9 are ideal for zebra grass planting. Work in compost or leaf litter to a depth of at least 6 inches prior to installing the plant. Space the plants 36 to 48 inches apart and install in spring when the plant is mostly dormant. In the cooler zones, choose a place on the western side of the house in a sheltered area or where cold doesn’t pocket.[图片]How to Care for Zebra Grass Zebra grass plants are resistant to most pests and diseases. They may get some foliar rusts or small leaf damage from chewing insects, but for the most part the plant is quite strong and hardy. Provide a full sun environment and plenty of water for best growth. The plants work well in containers but will need more water than those in the garden bed. Fertilize in spring with a good organic plant food. Cut back the inflorescences in either fall or spring. If you like the look of the dry feathery flowers, leave them until spring. If not, cut them back to within a few inches of the crown of the plant in fall. Remove any damaged foliage as it occurs.[图片]If the plant is in too much shade, the leaf blades can get floppy, but you can provide a stake or even a tomato cage to help prop them upright.

Ornamental grasses have become very popular with landscapers because of their ease of care, movement, and the graceful drama they bring to a garden. Porcupine maiden grass provides a prime example of these traits, as well as many more. What is porcupine grass? Read on to learn more.[图片]What is Porcupine Grass? Ornamental grasses come in a wide array of growth habits, tones, and sizes. They are classed by their temperature needs as warm season or cold/hardy grasses. Ornamental porcupine grass is a warm season species which is not hardy in freezing temperatures. It resembles zebra grass but holds its blades more stiffly and doesn’t tend to fall over as much. Porcupine maiden grass (Miscanthus sinensis ‘Strictus’) is a member of the Miscanthus family of graceful arching grasses. It is an ornamental upright grass with golden banding on the blades as if it was always in a dappled pool of light. This unique foliage bears horizontal golden bands, which some say resemble porcupine quills. In late summer, the plant forms a bronze inflorescence that rises above the blades and waves a plumed head in the wind.[图片]Growing Porcupine Grass This maiden grass makes an excellent specimen plant and is spectacular in mass plantings. It can get 6 to 9 feet tall. Try growing porcupine grass as an accent or even a border, for a low maintenance and top performing plant. The plant is hardy in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 to 9 and thrives in full sun where the soil is moderately moist. This grass does best in full sun but can also perform well in partial shade. It is remarkably unfussy about soil and will flourish even in soils which get repeated flooding. The one thing it cannot tolerate is excess salt, so it is not recommended for coastal planting. In massed groups, plant the grass 36 to 60 inches away from each other. It does tend to send out a lot of seed and can become an aggressive, invasive plant. This is likely due to the fact that growers leave the inflorescence on until spring because it adds interest to the winter garden. You can also cut it off and cut back the grass once the blades begin to brown for the season. This will provide you with a “fresh canvas” in which to enjoy the bright spring growth on ornamental porcupine grass.[图片]Porcupine Grass Care This is a fuss free plant, with no major pests or diseases. They do sometimes get rust fungus on the leaves, however, which can mar the beauty but will not harm the vitality of the plant. Best growth is achieved with plenty of water. The plant is not drought tolerant and should not be allowed to dry out. Once the plant is several years old, it is a good idea to dig it up and divide it. This will provide you with another plant and keep the center from dying out. Divide and re-plant in the spring just before new growth begins to show. Some gardeners cut back the foliage in late winter to early spring as part of porcupine grass care. This is not strictly necessary but is aesthetically more pleasing than new green growth poking through old brown growth. Porcupine grass is an excellent addition to the landscape and bestows elegance and year around beauty.[图片]

Ornamental grasses provide movement, sound and architectural interest to the garden. Whether they are planted en masse or single specimens, ornamental grasses add elegance and drama to the landscape with ease of care and self-sufficiency. Maiden grass is an excellent example of a landscape grass. Once established, these plants in the Miscanthus family need relatively little attention; however, they will need division once in a while. Dividing maidenhair grass keeps it to a maintainable size, increases the number of these plants and prevents center die-back. Learn when to divide maiden grass and some tips on how to split apart the larger specimens of this species.[图片]When to Divide Maiden Grass Miscanthus is a large family of grasses. There are many varieties of maiden grass in this group, most of which are excellent landscape plants and valued for their dramatic inflorescence and gaily waving foliage. Splitting ornamental grass plants should happen every 3 to 4 years. Can you divide maiden grass? Maiden grass responds favorably to division and will come back better than ever after a season. The question, “can you divide maiden grass?” has been answered, but now we need to know the when and how of the project. Older Miscanthus can get many feet wide and may grow 5 to 6 feet in height. This is a monster of a plant to divide but it is necessary for best plant health. The best time to divide maiden grass is when it is dormant. Cut back the foliage to 5 inches from the crown first. This will help you get at the base, which needs to be dug up and prevents harm to the root system. Now assemble some tools and a couple of buddies if you are splitting ornamental grass plants that are huge and old.[图片]How to Divide Maiden Grass Neglected old grasses may pose a problem for removal of the root ball. The faint of heart might want to call in a professional crew, while the adventurous might enlist a backhoe or pickup truck. The root ball has to come out for a successful division. Dig several inches around the crown of the plant in order to capture the edges of the root zone, then dig under the root mass and pull it all out. The root ball may be huge, so slide it onto a tarp for ease of movement. Now the division process occurs. Smaller plants can be cut with a root saw, while the big ones may require a chainsaw, pry bar or other robust tools. That is why it is good to know how to divide maiden grass when it is young, or you will end up with quite a large project. Divide the clump into sections of around six inches, retaining roots and crown in each piece. Keep the roots moist and replant each section immediately.[图片]Alternate Method of Dividing Maidenhair Grass Once the clump is out of the ground, you can also divide the small shoots or tillers with water. Rinse off all the dirt and pull out the individual shoots, including their roots. Each one of these is a potential plant, although it will take longer to establish a large clump of Miscanthus than the bulk division method. These small plants should be potted up and babied for a few years in a sheltered area or greenhouse before planting in the garden. This method will result in more plants than you can probably use, but the benefit is that the new plants will not transfer disease or weeds to a new area of the garden since the old soil was washed off.

Miscanthus sinensis, or maiden grass, is a family of ornamental plants with a clumping habit and graceful arching stems. This group of grasses has added appeal in late summer with spectacular plumes and in fall with bronze to burgundy colored foliage. Miscanthus maiden grass is easy to care for and hardy in USDA zones 5 to 9. There are numerous maiden grass varieties with different sizes and foliage colors. Bring one of these elegant grasses into your home landscape for powerful dimension, color and movement.[图片]Miscanthus Maiden Grass Maiden grass thrives in full sun and may get 6 feet wide with a 10 foot spread. The grass requires well-drained soil, but is tolerant of excess moisture, dry conditions, acidic soils and even hard clay sites. Ornamental maiden grass is excellent used in containers, but more commonly planted in groups or as a border or along the edges of beds. Miscanthus maiden grass has a very regal appeal and provides elegant décor to flank the front entry or along the driveway. Just remember how tall and wide the grass will get and give it enough room to mature.[图片]How to Grow Maiden Grass Propagation of ornamental maiden grasses is through division. You may dig up a mature plant in early spring before new growth has appeared. Cut the root base into two to four sections and plant each as a new plant. You can do this every three years or more, but it is important to do it when the center of the plant is showing signs of dying out. This is an indicator that it is time to divide the grass. Rejuvenated plants result from division and they have a tighter clumping habit. If you want to know how to grow maiden grass from seed, get ready for a wait. Sow seeds indoors in a flat with a lid. Keep the soil in the flat lightly moist and place the flat in a warm area at least 60 F. (16 C.). The baby sprouts will grow slowly and you will not have a Miscanthus maiden grass big enough to plant outside for at least a year. Your best bet is to find a buddy with a grass and cut out a piece for yourself.[图片]Maiden Grass Care Maiden grass care couldn’t be simpler. The plants have no known pest or disease problems, except rust. Rust is a fungal disease that is transmitted to leaves when water splashes onto them. Water the plants from under the foliage and when the leaf blades will have time to dry off quickly.[图片]Maiden Grass Varieties ‘Condensatus’ is a variety that can get 8 feet tall and has coarse foliage. ‘Gracillimus’ is a delicately leaved cultivar with a more upright growth habit. For colorful displays, ‘Purpurescens’ is red in summer and purplish red in fall, while ‘Silver Feather’ has shimmering whitish silver inflorescences. There are variegated varieties with horizontal yellow or white stripes, or vertical stripes along the leaf margins. Compact types are usually only 3 to 4 feet tall and suitable for containers. Do a little research on the many maiden grass varieties and choose the right one for your garden location.

Drought prone areas and sites with low maintenance needs will benefit from the use of ornamental grass. One of the best series in recent introduction are the Lomandra grasses. The original grasses hail from Australia but have been developed in New Zealand to include numerous cultivars. Wintertime wet feet and dry summer conditions simulate the best Lomandra growing conditions. Best of all, the grasses can be cold hardy into USDA zones 7 to 11. As an excellent visual enhancement to the garden, Lomandra grass can’t be beat in most of our temperate to warm climates.[图片]Lomandra Information Nothing beats the sway and swish of ornamental grasses in the landscape. Not only are they acoustically appealing but their dimension and movement send visitors into a pleasant swoon. One of the nicest grasses for dry to wet landscapes is Lomandra. Its main attraction comes with Lomandra maintenance, which can swing from outright neglect to brutal shearing. More lush growth and a fuller plant will result from average watering and feeding, but the plant has an attractive natural aspect even when left to its own devices. Exactly what is Lomandra grass? Lomandra is a native Australian grass that is also called basket grass or spiny-head mat-rush. Lomandra growing conditions vary from sandy to moist soils in swamps, mountains, creek banks, forests and open hillsides. Lomandra grass has a clumping habit with green, flat blades and a height and spread of about three feet.[图片]Among the more interesting tidbits of Lomandra information is its traditional use by Aborigines to make nets and baskets, and one species was also used as a food. There are nearly 10 Lomandra grass varieties available on the market. Almost any of these would be suitable as ornamental specimens in the warm region garden. As an added bonus, caring for Lomandra grass is effortless and plants have few disease or insect problems.[图片]Lomandra Varieties The largest of the Lomandra is Katie Belles. It grows nicely in bright sun or dappled shade and produces prolific creamy white inflorescences. Lomandra ‘Katrina Deluxe’ has fragrant flowers and a compact habit while ‘Nyalla’ has blue foliage and yellow flowers. A totally different appearance is brought by Lomandra cylindrica ‘Lime Wave,’ which has chartreuse foliage and bright golden blooms. Lomandra ‘Tanika’ is known for its graceful, arching foliage. Dwarf Lomandra produces perfect tufts of green with orange-yellow inflorescences. There are many more varieties available, and this adaptable grass is being developed to extend hardiness.[图片]Caring for Lomandra Grass Most of these grasses are suited to full sun or lightly shaded locations. The foliage color may change slightly depending upon the exposure to sunlight, but the health of the plant is not affected. Once established, the grass is tolerant of drought but for thick clumps of glossy foliage, occasional watering is an important part of Lomandra maintenance. f grasses get damaged due to frost, wind or time, simply cut them back to 6 to 8 inches from the ground and the foliage will spring back beautifully.[图片]Almost any area of the garden can provide perfect Lomandra growing conditions. This versatile plant is even comfortable in containers and makes a perfect low border, outline for a pathway or mass planting to replace traditional sod. Lomandra grass is an outstanding landscape performer with a tough nature and elegant, transformative foliage.

For finely textured foliage in the shady to part sun garden or natural wooded area, consider growing lady fern plants (Athyrium filix-femina). Lady fern plants are reliable, native plants and easy to grow in a moist, partially shaded location. When you’ve learned how to grow a lady fern, you’ll want to include them in many shady areas of the landscape. Care of lady ferns is not difficult once the plant is established in the right location.[图片]Lady Ferns in the Garden Locating lady fern plants may require observation of the spot before planting. Lady ferns in the woodland garden do best in a lightly shaded spot or an area that gets dappled sunlight year round. Plant them in a loamy soil that is slightly on the acidic side, amended with shredded oak leaves or other organic material that is well composted. Soil should be well-draining so that roots do not rot. Poultry grit may also be worked in to improve drainage. Planting lady ferns in the right place allows them to colonize and provide an attractive ground cover. Choose the proper cultivar for your area too. Athyrium filix-femina angustum (Northern lady fern) performs best in the upper United States, while Southern lady fern (Athyrium filix-femina asplenioides) takes the extreme summer heat of the south. Both have upright arching fronds that may reach 24 to 48 inches. More than 300 cultivars of lady fern plants are available commercially as well.[图片]How to Grow a Lady Fern Ferns may be propagated from spores, called sori and indusia, that grow on the back of the leaves. Starting ferns from spores can be a time consuming process, so start your lady fern plants from division of the rhizomes or by purchasing small plants. Divide lady ferns in the garden in spring. Then plant your lady ferns in the shady location where the soil has been amended, if necessary. Water regularly when planting lady ferns in a new spot. Once established, however, the plants are somewhat drought resistant.[图片]Fertilize in spring when new growth appears as part of lady fern care. Ferns are easily injured by too much fertilizer. A pelleted, time-release type works best, applied once in spring. Planting lady ferns is a great choice for the woodlands, the pond or any moist shaded area. Get them started in the garden this year.

Wild, native grasses are excellent sources to reclaim land, halt soil erosion, provide fodder and habitat for animals, and enhance the natural landscape. Prairie junegrass (Koeleria macrantha) is a widely distributed North American native. Junegrass in landscapes is primarily used as part of green rooftops and in dry, sandy situations. It has excellent drought tolerance and provides food for livestock, elk, deer and antelope. If you want to attract wildlife, you can’t ask for a better easily managed plant.[图片]What is Junegrass? Prairie junegrass grows natively in most parts of North America. Where does Junegrass grow? It is found from Ontario to British Columbia, south to Delaware, California and Mexico. This hardy, adaptable grass grows in Plains Mountains, meadow foothills and forests. Its primary habitat is open rocky sites. This makes junegrass in landscapes that are challenging a perfect addition. Junegrass is a perennial, cool season, tufting true grass. It can reach ½ to 2 feet in height (15 to 60 cm.) and has narrow flat leaves. The seeds are in dense spikes which are pale green to light purple. The grass is so adaptable it can thrive in its preferred lightly sandy soils but also heavily compacted soil. This grass flowers earlier than most of the other prairie grasses. Flowers appear in June and July in the U.S., and seeds are produced through September. Prairie junegrass reproduces through its prodigious seed or from tillers. The plant is tolerant of a wide variety of conditions but prefers a sunny, open area with moderate rainfall.[图片]Junegrass Information In widespread plantings, junegrass comes back well when managed by grazing. It is one of the earliest native grasses to green up in spring and stays green well into fall. The plant doesn’t spread vegetatively but rather by seed. This means junegrass in landscapes does not pose an invasion problem. In the wild, it combines in communities of Columbian, Letterman Needle and Kentucky bluegrasses. The plant is broadly tolerant of cold, heat and drought but does prefer deep to moderately fine textured soil. Not only does the plant provide forage for wild and domestic animals, but the seeds feed small mammals and bird, and provides cover and nesting material.[图片]Growing Junegrass To sow a stand of junegrass, till the soil to a depth of at least 6 inches (15 cm.). Seed should be stored in a cold, dry location until ready to use. Germination is most responsive in the cool seasons. Sow seeds on the surface of the soil with just a light dusting of soil to protect the tiny seeds from wind. Alternatively, cover the area with a light cotton sheet until germination. Keep the area evenly moist until the seedlings are established. You can also start plants in pots. Water from the bottom when in containers. Space plants 10 to 12 inches (25-30 cm.) apart once they have hardened off. Junegrass does best in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade.[图片]
