Most grasses need little maintenance once established.  The usually prefer full sun and like moist, poorer soil that drains well.  Feeding is not often needed.  Some prefer damp soil and do well near a [[water feature]].

Hardy, container grown grasses can be planted year-round.  Tender grasses should be planted in the [[spring]].  In places with heavy rainfall, very well draining, gritty soil is important, and stone chips over the soil make a good winter top-dress.  Bamboos ought to get freely watered until they are established.

Vigorous and invasive grasses can be grown in containers to restrain them, or barriers such as thick plastic sheeting can be placed in the soil around them as a barrier.  Otherwise, cutting back invasive roots with a spade in spring (when new grow comes), then once more in mid to late summer may work.  Cut perennials to ground level in autumn or in early winter unless they have decorative leaves or seed heads in which case you can wait to late winter.  Tender grasses should be cut back in the spring.

Grasses can be propagated from seed, which is sown as soon as ripe, or may be divided from rhizomatous and clump-forming varieties in late spring to early summer.  Divisions can be better off in pots until established, before planting in the garden.  Use moist but well drained soil mix in a cool place with bright filtered light.
