Planting & Care

Planting: Plant in the ground, such as a meadow, border, bank, slope, or garden bed, in an area that receives full sun with well-drained soil.

Watering: Once established, water occasionally. Regular rainfall should be sufficient unless there are periods of extreme drought or heat, in which case watering more often will be needed.

Fertilizing: Blackhawks are not picky about soil conditions and can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, but overly fertilized soil will cause this grass to wither.
