Ornamental grasses are less utilized in landscape design from NE area of Romania. In the current paper are presented aspects regarding cultivation for ornamental purposes of specie Eragrostis elliotii S. Wats., in pedo-climatic conditions from Iaşi, Romania. The aim of the research was to establish a suitable substrate for planting material obtains on generative way, and also monitoring in cropping conditions of obtained biological material. Experimental scheme was organized in four variants, each variant representing a type of substrate (V1 - garden soil, V2 - peat, V3 - 1 part garden soil + 2 parts peat + 0.5 parts sand, V4 - jiffy-pots ). For producing seedlings from specie Eragrostis elliotii S. Wats. the best results were obtained at V3 version, with substrate consists of 1 part garden soil + 2 parts peat + 0.5 parts sand. In cropping conditions, at plants from V3, V2 and V1 variants the most representative results were obtained, those ones being quite close as value.
