Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant gently in, filling in with soil and patting it down to eliminate air pockets.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish roots. Once established, Chameleon Little Bluestem is drought-resistant but will benefit from occasional deep watering during dry spells.

3. Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. You can clean up the plant by cutting back dead foliage in early spring before new growth begins.

4. Fertilizing: A light application of a balanced fertilizer in spring can encourage lush growth, but avoid over-fertilizing, as this can hinder the plant's color transitions.
