Soil
Alpine Bluegrass does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer

Growth Pattern
Alpine Bluegrass is a clumping plant, meaning new growth will emerge from the soil around the parent plant.
