Toffee Twist is a cool-season grass. Cool-season grasses grow in spring before temperatures exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit and in the fall when temperatures cool down. They generally maintain good color through the summer but will not grow much when it is hot. Cut back cool season grasses in very early spring.
Performs best in moist, rich, acidic soil with a half day of sun.
Use in a bog, as border plants, in containers, in mass planting, as a specimen plant or focal point. |
