Growing Conditions:

1. Sunlight: Mexican Feather Grass thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and feathery foliage.

2. Watering: Water Mexican Feather Grass regularly to establish roots. Once established, water sparingly as it is drought tolerant.

• Winter Care: In colder climates, Mexican Feather Grass may benefit from a layer of mulch around the base to protect roots from freezing temperatures.
