It only happens about once per year and these are easy to dig out and replant and they do well. It's not such a bad thing to have the tough ones who made it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-6362277446802222002010-05-17T07:01:46.011-04:002010-05-17T07:01:46.011-04:00Hi size123, this grass is a clump-forming variety ...Hi size123, this grass is a clump-forming variety and is not invasive. All across SOuth-Florida, this is used extensively in landscaping, around here in Boynton, its used in gated community (including mine) gardens extensively. I've seen them cut it back severely every late winter/early spring to encourage new growth. You most likely will have to replace one or two clumps instead of it taking over. This grass is so valuable in keeping sand dunes intact, that is it a protected species, you are not even allowed to collect its seed in the wild.The Budget Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620870316917511992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266956132713397509.post-78429942085043427732010-05-15T19:11:32.910-04:002010-05-15T19:11:32.910-04:00I just saw this grass yesterday at two garden cent...I just saw this grass yesterday at two garden centers in Davie. I almost bought it, but I was afraid it might be too vigorous (aka invasive). Is it well-behaved?size123https://www.blogger.com/profile/00427055514130768605noreply@blogger.com
