Can Monkey Grass Be Grown in Alaska

Question

Temps here are around 0 for 2 months and 10 for 4 months then 25 to 60 for the other 6 months.

Answer 1

Generally, this plant is only hardy to zones 6b, though it has been known to do well in slightly cooler regions. I am not too sure it can take the chilling temps in your climate, however, at least not without adequate protection.
