When can monkey grass be transplanted?

Answer by  BrendaG (6111)

Transplanting is recommended after chances of frost, but it is a hardy plant and grows practically anywhere you put it as long as it has a root. You can remove the annoying bits growing here or there and plant it under places you find it hard to grow anything else.

Monkey grass can be transplanted after the last frost of the year through mid-summer. After it is transplanted it will need time to establish itself to survive cold weather and if it is transplanted after midsummer it may not be able to do this.

Wait until there is no chance for further frost to transplant your monkey grass. You can then continue transplanting throughout the summer. When transplanting make sure the monkey grass has a chance to take strong root. You will also want to softly rake across it during the first 2-3 weeks after transplantation.

In the early spring, after you are sure there is no chance of another frost, you can transplant monkey grass. To make sure it will grow, take plenty of roots along with the section of grass you want to transplant. Transplanting should be done from a well established area of monkey grass.

Basically the best time to transplant the grass is during the summer time. This is when there is a lot of sun out which helps to facilitate the growth of the grass.

It can actually be transplanted any time of year. But it is recommended that you do this in a hot climate such as the summer because this will allow to facilitate growth.

If you live in an area where monkey grass does not die back in the winter, you can transplant it any time. Monkey grass is a very robust plant and is happy to be moved or divided.
