In nature, this grows in habitats with frequent fire.  In the garden, it will grow best if you remove built-up thatch (or burn it once every few years if you can). Bunching grass in a wildflower garden. Border of walkways. This is a low plant, so best used near the front of a group planting.

Can be used as a groundcover in semi-shady areas. Perhaps more interesting than showy.

Restoration of savannas. Curiosity in the wildflower garden.
