CARE GUIDE

How to keep Calamagrostis Filiformis.

Light

The New Zealand windgrass comes from well-lit, open habitats where it flourishes in complete sun exposure. It can endure partial sun, yet it favors unobstructed sunlight for the best growth. Known for its affinity for sunlight, this plant grows as both an annual and biennial.

Temperature

The New Zealand windgrass can acclimate to varying temperature ranges, however, certain mixtures of heat and water conditions can potentially restrict its distribution. It grows optimally in hot climates during the summer provided there is enough rainfall or irrigation. The chances of New Zealand windgrass perishing may be increased by extended periods of cloudy and wet conditions or sustained high temperatures. During winter, appropriate safeguards against the cold can enhance the plant's likelihood of surviving.
