Does well in heavy clay soils, unlike many of the other ornamental grasses. Prefers moist, rich soils which do not dry out. Blooms in light shade, and appreciates some light afternoon shade in hot summer climates. Since this hybrid is sterile, there is virtually no chance of its escaping and becoming a scourge on the landscape.
