Maintenance:

To keep your Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila' thriving and looking its best, follow these simple maintenance tips:

• Sunlight: Plant 'Pumila' in a location that receives full sun. It requires at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure optimal growth and flowering.
• Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry periods or when the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging.
• Soil: 'Pumila' prefers well-draining soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy or loamy soil. Avoid heavy clay soil that retains excessive moisture.
• Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the appropriate dosage.
• Pruning: In late winter or early spring, remove any dead or damaged foliage and cut back the plant to encourage fresh growth. Trim the flower stalks after they have finished blooming.
• Dividing: Every few years, divide the clumps of 'Pumila' to maintain its vigor and prevent overcrowding. This is best done in early spring.
• Winter Care: 'Pumila' is generally hardy but may benefit from protection in colder regions. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to insulate the roots during harsh winters.
