Planting and care

Plants love water, but don, t drown them. That is, they don, t like to sit in water, and they, ll die if the soil is too wet in winter. The ideal soil is rich and loose, with good drainage. One of the worst mistakes you can make is to not provide adequate drainage.Use mulch.

Pennisetum ruppellii care

They are usually shipped in the spring as bare roots when plants are fully dormant, well before they have leafed out. They, ll look like a bundle of sticks on arrival. Note, they are not dead, simply dormant.If you are buying container-grown plants (vs. bare-root plants), plant them by May or early June for best results.
