This is a cool-season grass, so it emerges from dormancy earlier than most in the spring. It sends up flower scapes in June, but instead of bearing flowers this cultivar bears plantlets on the top of its scapes (hence the name). These can be used for propagation.
The species grows in moist soil, and it can grow in poorly drained areas, though it is also fairly tolerant of drought. It is evergreen in mild winter climates, but tardily deciduous here in Boston Z6a.
It is also one of the most shade tolerant of true grasses---mine did well in dappled shade with almost no direct sun, here in Boston Z6a.
It is not long-lived---mine lasted about 5 years. Regular division may help you keep it going longer.
It likes cool moist climates, and does better in Vermont than in LA.
