When to plant japanese forest grass

Japanese forest grass is a slow-growing, shade-loving deciduous perennial grass. NC State says it is best propagated by division in spring and that the foliage should be cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring, so set out new plants or divisions as growth resumes in spring. It grows best in cool-summer climates and may struggle in the hot summers of zones 8 to 9.

Japanese Forest Grass is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
