Planting & Care
Select a location receiving full sun or partial shade with well-drained soil. Dig a hole sized to match your plant's root ball, position the grass, and backfill with soil before watering thoroughly. For container growing, choose a pot twice the size of the shipping container with drainage holes, fill with organic potting mix, and water well. During the first year, maintain consistent soil moisture through regular watering. After establishment, your Black Mondo Grass requires minimal attention—simply water when the top 2 to 3 inches of soil feel dry.
