Description

An easy-to-grow black grass that will bring a touch of Asia to your garden with its green-purple ornamental foliage. Oryza sativa Black Madras is stunning in borders or containers using moisture-retaining soil. Looks fabulous all summer. Cultivation: outdoors, grow in fertile, moist to wet soil, at pond margins, or in water up to 5cm deep in the sun. Under glass, grow in loam-based compost in full light. Keep soil submerged to a depth of 2.5cm. Refresh regularly. Drain water when flowering & keep moist.

Sowing Indoors: Sow onto the surface of a free-draining, moist seed-sowing compost and cover lightly with soil or vermiculite. Keep at around 15 to 20°C (60 to 68°F) Germination should take place in two to four weeks. Maintain a temperature of 15°C (60°F) after germination until the seedlings are established
Once seedlings are large enough to handle, separate them out and grow them individually in their own pot containing gritty, well-drained compost to grow on. Once the danger of frost has passed the seedlings can be transplanted outdoors. Plant 60cm (24in) apart in full sun and well-drained soil.
Sowing Direct:
Ensure all ground is weed free and well-prepared before sowing. Sow the seed 2 to 3cm (¾ to1¼in) deep in rows 60 to 90cm (25 to 35in) apart with a distance of 10 to 30cm (4 to 12 in) between the plants. The rate and speed of germination will depend on the soil temperature and weather conditions. Once the plants are growing strongly, thin the plants to a distance of 60cm (24in) apart.
