Growing this grass from seed is straightforward. Start by sowing seeds indoors between late February and early April, maintaining a temperature of 18 to 21 °C. Once germinated, keep the seedlings in cooler conditions to prevent rapid growth. You can also direct sow or start seeds in a greenhouse from March to May. Late summer and autumn sowings germinate quickly in a greenhouse setting. Overwinter the seedlings in pots and plant them out in early spring. If spring germination doesn’t work out, try sowing again in autumn for better results.
