As with all ornamental grasses, leave seed heads standing for winter interest and bird forage; the inflorescence can also be used in dried flower arrangements. In spring, after you see green growth emerging, cut plants back to 1-2 feet above the ground. In mild climates, Giant Sacaton may maintain some green foliage year-round.

Traditionally used in basket making and for smudges. Birds are attracted to the seeds and a walk through sweetgrass is said to have a calming effect. Sweetgrass is found naturally in wetlands, prairies, and savannas with medium-wet soils, so it requires rich moist soil and at least 6 hours of sun a day. In the right conditions, this grass spreads vigorously by rhizomes, so it will blend with other grasses or perennials in a garden, or it can be planted in masses for a striking effect.
