Perennial ryegrass can aggressively compete for resources, potentially hindering the growth and spread of Grona triflora.
Kentucky Bluegrass can form a dense sod that inhibits the establishment and spread of Grona triflora.
Spider mites suck plant sap, causing stippling, yellowing, and webbing on the leaves. Severe infestations can weaken the plant.
Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that feed on plant sap, causing distorted growth, honeydew production, and potential sooty mold growth.
Steps:
- For seed propagation, collect mature seeds from dried pods.
- Scarify the seeds lightly to improve germination rates.
- Sow seeds in well-draining soil in spring or fall.
- Keep the soil moist until germination occurs.
- For division, separate rooted sections of the plant in spring or fall.
- Replant the divisions in new locations with well-draining soil.
