Originally from South America, needlegrasses is a perennial grass genus appreciated for its attractive, feathery inflorescences. Generally, needlegrasses requires full sun exposure and performs well with moderate watering, preferring well-drained soil. It thrives in moderate to warm temperatures and isn’t excessively demanding in terms of its care profile. Common challenges can include invasive tendencies, with pests and diseases rarely posing significant problems. Seasonally, needlegrasses typically enters dormancy in winter, requiring reduced watering, while spring brings vigorous growth, necessitating increased attention to its potentially invasive spread.
