HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow either in late fall or early spring. Press the wool grass seed into the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. For spring planting, mix the Scirpus Cyperinus seeds with moist sand and store them in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil saturated until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant prefers soil that is constantly moist and saturated, and thrives in shallow water or mud. It adapts to many soil types including clay, sand, and gravel with adequate moisture. It will eventually spread by rhizomes and self-seeding; mature plants can be divided. This wool grass plant makes an excellent choice for erosion control or wetland restoration, and provides forage and cover for birds and other wildlife. It also performs well in water gardens or on stream banks.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to ripen and turn from green to brown. Cut the mature seed heads from the stem and spread them out to dry. Rub them slightly to separate the seed from the plant material. Store the wool grass seed in a cool, dry place.
