Pruning or cutting it back is quite easy and should be done now. You can cut it to the ground before new shoots appear. If it has already started growing, go ahead and prune it down to the tops of the new shoots and take your fingers and run them through the new grass shoots and pull out the dead ones from last season.
It's a very pretty grass!!! |
That is pretty!
Looks sort of like mine, zebra grass. That doesn't spread by rhizomes (not that I've seen anyway). But it gets 9 feet tall. We have a wall of it - 18 plants - for privacy around the pool.
Some of it is not doing well this year - the rocks in the bed, not enough soil, poor soil, etc. We added compost and spagnum moss, so we'll see if that helps.
