Koeleria macrantha is a species of grass known by the common name prairie Junegrass in North America and crested hair-grass in the UK. It is widespread across much of Eurasia and North America. It occurs in many habitat types, especially prairie.
Mediterranean hairgrass is fairly resistant to disease and generally not prone to illness. In terms of care, it is relatively low-maintenance. Planted outdoors, it needs only light watering, and larger plants usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be trimmed after they bloom. Mediterranean hairgrass is suitable for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand much care experience.
How to keep Koeleria Cristata.
Light
Mediterranean hairgrass is native to luminous, exposed habitats where it flourishes in intense sun. It can endure semi-shaded conditions but ideally wants full sun for maximum growth. This plant, which can be both an annual and a biennial, is renowned for its affinity towards sunlight.
Temperature
The plant known as Mediterranean hairgrass tends to flourish best in temperatures that vary between 20 and 35℃ (68 to 95°F). This suggests that it favors climates that are moderately warm to hot. When seasons change, it may need temperature management to ensure the best growth conditions.
