For planting and repotting ornamental grasses.
Repot with ease
Grasses bring movement and structure to borders and paths. This ready-to-use compost is intended for ornamental grasses such as miscanthus, fountain grass, switchgrass and moor grass in beds and containers. Species choice determines light, moisture and eventual space needs.
- Match the grass species and growing space
Identify the chosen species and cultivar. Allow for clump width, possible runners, light and soil moisture when choosing the site.
- Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
- Support establishment
Plan subsequent feeding according to plant needs and active growth, accounting for the nutrients already present. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.

Root space & plant care
Ornamental Grass Compost in everyday use
Which plant is it for?
Design with suitable plants
Ornamental grasses do not share one care regime. Cut deciduous species before new growth; clean evergreen species selectively. Match timing, water needs and hardiness to species and cultivar.
Details & background
Grasses bring movement and structure to borders and paths. This ready-to-use compost is intended for ornamental grasses such as miscanthus, fountain grass, switchgrass and moor grass in beds and containers. Species choice determines light, moisture and eventual space needs.
Composition & nutrition
For new root space
Ready-to-use compost for ornamental grasses. The space around the root ball determines the amount required.
Details & background
See the product information for the full composition and nutrient declaration. Account for the existing nutrient supply before adding further fertiliser.
Repotting in eight steps
Prepare the mix
This texture image belongs to the product. Loosen before filling and firm only lightly around the root ball.
-
Match the grass species and growing space
Identify the chosen species and cultivar. Allow for clump width, possible runners, light and soil moisture when choosing the site.
-
Prepare the planting space
Loosen garden soil; choose containers with clear drainage holes. Allow suitable additional root space around the ball.
-
Release the root ball gently
Unpot while preserving healthy fine roots. Gently loosen a dense outer root mat without unnecessarily breaking up the ball.
-
Loosen the compost
Loosen the ready-to-use medium and add a base layer. Account for existing nutrients rather than automatically adding starter fertiliser.
-
Retain the planting level
Position the root-ball surface at its previous level. Do not bury the root collar or crown deeply; leave watering space in containers.
-
Fill around the sides
Fill gaps with compost and firm lightly. Stabilise the plant without heavily compressing the medium.
-
Water in slowly
Water slowly to settle the compost against the root ball. Allow excess water to drain completely from containers.
-
Support establishment
Plan subsequent feeding according to plant needs and active growth, accounting for the nutrients already present. Check root moisture regularly and adapt continued care to species and cultivar.
Ongoing plant care
Ornamental grasses do not share one care regime. Cut deciduous species before new growth; clean evergreen species selectively. Match timing, water needs and hardiness to species and cultivar.
Frequently asked questions
Is this peat-free?
No. The mix contains high-moor peat and the other ingredients listed in the product information.
When should I feed?
Plan subsequent feeding according to plant needs and active growth, accounting for the nutrients already present.
How much compost do I need?
The space between the existing root ball and the new planting space is decisive. The bag contains 10 litres; the root ball already occupies part of the volume.
What matters in continued care?
Ornamental grasses do not share one care regime. Cut deciduous species before new growth; clean evergreen species selectively. Match timing, water needs and hardiness to species and cultivar.
