A note from PlantMom
Bog alkaligrass is resistant to disease and, in general, does not tend to become diseased. Regarding upkeep, this plant is fairly low-maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs only light watering, and larger specimens normally do not require pruning. Smaller specimens, however, should be trimmed after they finish blooming. Bog alkaligrass is suitable for anyone with outdoor space—such as a garden or a deck—and does not demand extensive care experience.
