Transplanting Create a hole that matches the width and height of the root system, add some mulch or fertilized potting soil, and make sure to water it well after transplanting.
Watering Make sure to water the newly planted grass thoroughly and keep the soil consistently moist.
Fertilizing Fertilize in early spring, early summer, and at the start of fall during the first year. After the first year, just fertilize in early spring.
Dividing Pampas Grass You can propagate it from late August to early September or in early spring after the last frosts.
