Propagation
Plant out runners (stolons) from spring to summer and keep moist as they root at the nodes.
Cultivars must be propagated vegetatively to ensure true to type.

Culture
The stolons have swollen nodes and the thatching should be controlled with an annual detaching or by scarfing then top dressing. When top dressing, push the soil well into the mat to marry up with the existing soil and do not cover the leaf blades for any length of time

This grass naturalises in coastal areas on sandy soils and is regarded as a weed under these conditions.
