🌿 How to Care for Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’

How much sun do Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ need?
Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ thrive in full sun (6–8 hours daily). Some varieties can tolerate partial shade, but flowering may be reduced.
Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ prefer well-drained soil, ideally light and moderately fertile. Heavy, waterlogged soil should be avoided to prevent root issues.
The best time to plant Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ is spring or early autumn. Space them according to their mature size, plant at the same depth as their containers, firm in, and water well.
Water Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ regularly during their first growing season. Once established, most grasses are drought-tolerant and only need water during prolonged dry periods.
Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ don’t need much feeding. In poor soils, a light compost mulch or a slow-release fertiliser in early spring is sufficient. Too much feeding can make them floppy.
Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ should be left standing over winter to protect the crown and add structure. In late spring, once new growth appears, cut back dead foliage to just above the fresh shoots.
Divide Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ into clumps every 2–4 years to keep them healthy. The best time is early spring before new growth or late summer for warm-season types.
Pennisetum ‘JS Dance With Me’ are usually low-maintenance and pest-resistant. In overly wet or crowded conditions, issues like mildew, rust, or aphids may occasionally appear.
