🌱 How to Care for Blue moor grass to Prevent Grey Mould?
💧 How to Water
Keep soil lightly moist but never waterlogged; let the top layer dry before watering again. Water more often during spring growth and in hot, dry weather, but this grass tolerates short dry spells well once established.
☀️ Lighting
Grows best in full sun, but tolerates partial or dappled shade, especially in hotter climates. More sun generally means denser, more compact growth and better flowering.
🪴 Ideal Soil
Prefers well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil, and is especially at home on chalk or limestone. It also adapts to loamy, sandy or clay soils as long as drainage is good; avoid constantly waterlogged ground.
