Transplanting hydrangeas during the dormant season typically means either transplanting in the fall, after the hydrangea has begun to die back for the season, or early spring, before it starts its ...
The plant is a warm season ornamental grass which typically grows in graceful, spreading clumps from 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) tall and wide. It features narrow, medium to deep green leaves (to 1/2" wide) in summer, changing to golden yellow in fall, and fading to beige in late fall. The foliage usually remains attractive throughout the winter.
Different species and varieties react differently to transplanting; for some, it is not recommended. In all cases, avoiding transplant shock—the stress or damage received in the process—is the principal concern. Plants raised in protected conditions usually need a period of acclimatization, known as hardening off (see also frost hardiness).
Dry leaves, along with dry grass, dead plants, wood chips, shredded paper, and sawdust are examples of carbon to place in the compost. Oxygen or green material includes grass clippings, produce ...

Plant propagation is the process of plant reproduction of a species or cultivar, and it can be sexual or asexual. It can happen through the use of vegetative parts of the plants, such as leaves, stems, and roots to produce new plants or through growth from specialized vegetative plant parts.
Switchgrass is a hardy, deep-rooted, perennial rhizomatous grass that begins growth in late spring. It can grow up to 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) high, but is typically shorter than big bluestem grass or indiangrass. The leaves are 30–90 cm (12–35 in) long, with a prominent midrib.
