It’s okay to leave actual plants in the area, because monkey grass grows well alongside other plants.

If you’ve tilled the area in the recent past, don’t worry about doing it again.

If you don’t have any monkey grass growing yet, plant seeds to start your monkey grass growth.

You may buy monkey grass in a container at the garden center. In this case, all you’ll need to do is carefully pull the plant out of the container.

Since monkey grass spreads so much, it’s often good to plant it somewhere with defined boundaries so it doesn’t grow out of control. You will need to divide the monkey grass every 2-3 years to keep it within its original location.

Adjust the height you trim it to fit your preference. Between one and six inches is the sweet spot. (2. 5 cm to 15 cm).
