This ornamental grass should be planted in a location that receives full sun. It requires moderate watering, so ensure the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ischaemum burmanicum is adaptable to various soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay, as long as they are well-draining. It can be used in borders, as a ground cover, or in containers. Cut back the foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth appears to maintain its appearance.
