A Japanese wild grass magazine featured a photo of a Kyushu pink that had been cultivated for 27 years. Grasses are perennial; they go through a phase of shedding old leaves, which can appear untidy. With a little care – trimming old leaves, removing stray weeds, consistent watering, and appropriate sunlight – they will flourish anew when you least expect it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watering Routine | Water daily at a set time while admiring the beautiful plants.
