Thank you

[@Musclecar67]

I want to do this with some grasses I have. How long do these plugs take to become gallon size? Thank you so much!

[@moonshinedesignsnursery3310]

A 2-1/2" liner, planted in spring, will be a saleable gallon pot by September, here in zone 5.

Hi Moonshine Designs, what happens if the pots gets a little frost sometimes in my mudroom during winter? (zone 5-6 here in Denmark)

[@moonshinedesignsnursery3310]

Frost will not hurt anything. We let these go to into the 20s (F) over winter in a cold house.

[@waynelo8570]

can I do this in June?

[@moonshinedesignsnursery3310]

Yes, but keep well watered and cut back 50%

[@marie8872]

Do they need watering just after potting? thx

[@moonshinedesignsnursery3310]

Yes. Water deeply, then just keep evenly moist, but not soggy.

Thank you so much for this! If I already have 8" of new growth, should I be trimming the foliage to reduce stress on the roots?

[@geoseward]

I live in the Dallas area and I have found that my Karl Forester grass has contracted a rust disease . Next year in the spring is it okay to see if new growth reappears or would you suggest replacing with new plants.

[@moonshinedesignsnursery3310]

Once foliage dies back this fall, remove all of it down tot he ground and make sure not to leave any remnants on the ground. Next year, if rust appears again (usually due to too much rain), you can spray with a fungicide. If the spores are present in your soil, new plants would not be the solution as they would become infested as well. This grass is quite rugged and will usually tolerate some infection and it may not be back next year.

[@geoseward]

@@moonshinedesignsnursery3310 I think the rust came from me watering at night or the sprinkler hitting it too much. Would I know next year when the grass starts too grow if the plants were or were not infected visually, and is it too late to spray with a fungicide currently?
