HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting the bear grass seed just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 14-16 weeks before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Seedlings must have well-drained soil that is allowed to dry out between waterings. This bear grass plant grows best in rocky, well-draining soil but also tolerates sandy or poor soil. Young plants may eventually grow from rhizomes. Blooming may occur irregularly every few years.
Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.
Seed Saving: At the end of the flowering season, pods will develop that eventually turn tan and split open to reveal the ripe seed. Shake the open pods over a container to remove the seed. Store bear grass seed in a cool, dry place.
