There is a lot of chemical warfare in the plant kingdom where perennial grasses will 'crowd out' tree seedlings, etc. and I was wondering if anyone has information that might help me in my attempt to control weeds in amaryllis (hippeastrums). I know a lot of Amaryllidaceae seem to coexist happily with perennial grasses so I see some reason for optimism in this plan. There are some blends of 'low mow - no mow' grasses similar to those fine bladed tight grasses use for golf greens that seem strongly allelopathic and I would like to try using them to fill in around my hippeastrum bulbs to crowd out taller dicot seeds that they pick up on their summers outdoors. An added benefit is they could help to dry the pots out at the end of the growing season as transpiration would be more aggressive than from the bulbs going into dormancy. But, during the growing season the low mow grasses can easily be kept to 6" with one trimming a year. Any experience growing Hippeastrum in grass or any academic knowledge or educated guesses would be greatly appreciated.
