Tiger grass thrives in a wide range of environments, making it a relatively low-maintenance option for gardeners. Key care points include ensuring adequate moisture without waterlogging and providing full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. It's especially important to trim the plant to control its size and spread, as tiger grass can be quite vigorous once established.

Tiger grass is characterized by its tall, clump-forming growth habit, with culms that can reach up to 10 feet (3 meters) in height and can spread equally wide. The plant exhibits broad, lanceolate, rich green leaves reminiscent of bamboo, which envelop upright, solid stems around 1/4 inch thick. In late summer, green inflorescences emerge, ultimately turning brown as they mature. Tiger grass can thrive in varying light conditions and requires occasional to regular watering. Its evergreen foliage is maintained in mild climates, though it can die back in temperatures consistently below 27°F (-3°C).
