Should I mulch around ornamental grass?

Ornamental Grass and Mulch

You should mulch around your ornamental grasses when they are past the seedling stage. Mulching helps to keep soil moist, as well as deterring the germination of weed seeds.

You should spread mulch to at least a two-inch thickness around ornamental grasses. Types of mulch that work well with ornamental grasses includes pine bark chips, pine needles, pecan hulls and cocoa bean husks.
