Daniella Grass

Planting and care

An accurate soil test will tell you where your pH currently stands. Acidic (sour) soil is counteracted by applying finely ground limestone, and alkaline (sweet) soil is treated with ground sulfur.If you order roses from a mail-order company, order early, in January or February (March at the latest). They are usually shipped in the spring as bare roots when plants are fully dormant, well before they have leafed out

Caring for Daniella Grass

• Start with pruning shears for smaller growth.
• Use loppers, which look like giant, long-handled shears, for growth that is more than half an inch thick.
• A small pruning saw is handy, as it cuts on both the push and the pull.
