More information coming soon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrasses are important habitat for native bees who use them for nesting material as well as for hibernation and nursery structures. Do not cut your grasses all the way to the ground. If you must, cut back to about knee height and leave the old stems in the clump permanently. The new growth will cover them over in no time and they will eventually rot away. Many bees have a lifecycle longer than one year and need dependable, consistent habitat to complete their journey. This cutting regime is applicable to other perennials with hollow stems, as well: cut back to knee height. It will look as intentional as cutting lower, but offer much richer habitat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource: \u003c\/strong\u003esown at Honey Petal Plants with seed from Toadshade Wildflower Farm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52730321371443,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/512px-Schoenoplectus_tabernaemontani_Oulu__Finland_08.06.2013.jpg?v=1765115284","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/schoenoplectus-tabernaemontani-soft-stem-rush","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
