Silver, We have an area where 3 Leland Cypress trees were dying due to a canker that the neighbors lawn care person trimmed with a non-clean tool. Needless to say, we took out the last one this year and really miss the privacy they gave. 30’ tall and 8’ wide. WOW! Now - nothing! Told wife that an ornamental grass screen was needed and here’s your video on just that!! Perfect 👌🏼 Mot quite as tall but doable for sure. Thanks.
I too had 2 plants about 4 yrs ago and now have about 25-30 now. What I did this past late winter/early spring was cut the dormant brown back to the ground. I then just take a shovel and start taking out sections from one plant. I wont even dig up the whole plant. Seemed to work faster for me doing it this method than digging up the whole grass clump.. You will need to add so'il to the side you took out or you will have a low spot. If you do dig up the whole grass clump use a hand wood saw to split it. Its a whole alot easier than doing it by trying to spear it.. You can get one cheap for like $8. I use a saw also for dividing daylillies too. I wonder if the saw part on your shovel would work the same? As an experiment I put one in a big pot by the house around 6 weeks ago. It was a little sprout that must have started by seed. I dug it and transplanted it to the pot. Its taking off and very big now. When I first planted it there it kinda looked stupid because it was so small in such a big pot, 6 weeks later it looks very nice! Fingers crossed that it survives a north ga winter and comes back in the spring
A how to video on how you trim these for the Fountain shape would be great and well appreciated for many people. I believe. Great Job. Thank you for your time
It's like you are reading my mind. Ever since I discovered your channel few days ago I keep on watching videos of exactly what I want to achieve in my yeard. It even looks very similar to how yours used to look (I'm from North Andover)
Glad to have you on the channel and I really appreciate the nice comments. Sounds like you are on the right track. Just do a little at a time and things imrprove. My place is far from perfect and it takes work but with work and family we are always trying to get it done and save time. Glad this helped!
That was perfect timing my elderly neighbor just asked me about decretive grass, you have gave me a lot of information ! Thank you very much I enjoy your channel !!!
Miscanthus is indeed lovely, but long-term it requires digging and dividing that root ball to maintain its beauty and not rot in the center. At that point, the root ball is hard as a rock and extremely heavy. Not a job an elderly lady can probably handle on her own.
Thank you very much for the nice comment. It took some work but it beat paying $40-80 a plant! We looked at boxwoods, they take years to grow and they are nice but the cost was way too ,much and now I wouldn't change these for anything.
Silver Cymbal did you also buy your first plant from amazon? Does it arrive as a full plant or is it cut to size to fit a small container box for shipping?
Great video, thank you! We’ve been LOVING our first two Maiden grasses (we really enjoyed watching them change through the seasons)! We bought four more yesterday, but now, thanks to you, we won’t need to buy any more…we’ll just divide them.😊
Thanks for the informative video. Your point about poor seed germination made me think if you cut it back in late fall/winter the dead cuttings would probably make excellent mulch. I will definitely be dividing my plants and spreading them in different parts of my yard thanks to your video.
I like the voiceover style of your videos. I just tried one myself yesterday. It’s difficult, but your finished videos don’t project that. Well done sir
Thanks for the great video! My neighbor has a dog that killed all of the grass in their back corner. Looks horrible. These grasses would be perfect to screen off the denuded area affordably. Many thanks!
Perfect video, planted some of these in the exact same sandy soil here in MA, glad to hear they will take off soon and be able to clone easy, great privacy wall!
I bought Gracilimus and Morning Light types of grass. Gracilimus has a white stripe in the middle of the leaf, morning light has also white leaf edges. Your grass looks like it has only green leafs. Maybe this is video effect. Are you sure of the name of your grass that you mentioned in the description? Greetings from Poland.
That's great. If they don't you can always use the amazon link if 1-2 plants can do whatever you need. These were a big surprise for me once I started breaking them up they work so well. Thanks for being a part of the channel.
that's maiden grass I got fountain grass once thinking it was the type you have. it seeded the whole area where I had it. some are still popping up 20 years later.
Thanks so much! Just subscribed. Love these grasses for around my pool just like that! Also, just made your DIY sprinkler, waiting on the head to arrive Wednesday to put it to the test ! Thank you!
Thank you so much. Those grass plants are really the best. You will find yourself splitting them and giving them away, the things are bullet proof and looks so nice. Thanks again
THANK YOU THANK YOU…. this was the best video and simple and to the point. Do you happen to have a follow-up on how they did after transplant? The only thing I’m confused on is if they don’t spread, how to they thicken out after splitting? Sorry if that’s a silly question.
Thank you for the nice words, we have moved since this video but I know the plants are still doing well. They are extremely tough and so easy to grow. I would plant them again in a second.
This is quite helpful, thank you. I just ordered three plugs of the pampas ornamental grass, in the color purple. Hopefully everything described in the video applies to the pampas as well.
I’ve been a long time follower. I planted several of these around my garden. How do you make them stand up like that? The ones I have lean to one side. :/ I have learned a lot with your videos. Thanks much
I have two growing over 2 yrs and they are about 5ft high. I do want to make a full row. I have collected seed to attempt growing over winter. But would love to know when is the best time to split them? Mine are still seeding, and would love to divide to fill in more areas. Do I split now or wait until spring with new growth? Thank you
It’s really up to you. If you don’t get a lot of snow they look pretty cool most of the winter. They look the same but they turn into that straw color instead but they have their flowers on top. You can wait until the spring but it’s a little more work since the dead blades are a little harder to clean up since they are usually on the ground by then. I usually leave them until Thanksgiving and then cut them down with the hedge trimmers for a little less work. Thanks for watching.
This grass is from Asia. For those interested in providing more of an ecological benefit, I'd recommend a lovely native (to most of the US) switchgrass, Panicum virgatum.
Very helpful video, thank you! We just got a bunch of these from a friend and planted them right away but the ends are getting crisp and curly I’m afraid they may not survive. Is this normal? I’m watering daily and added a little Jacks All Purpose 20 20 20 to help them along.
You can order these *LIVE plants* 🌿delivered to you here*: tinyurl.com/ybmbp63z - Buy one or two and do what I did and save some money! The *Root Assassin Shovel* is available here: amzn.to/31QFvtN -Thank you for watching and being a part of my channel.
Chinese silvergrass (Miscanthus sinensis) Ecological Threat Miscanthus sinensis escapes from ornamental plantings and can form large clumps along disturbed areas, displacing native vegetation. The grass is also extremely flammable and increases fire risks of invaded areas. It is native to Asia and was introduced into the United States for ornamental purposes during the late 1800s.
We call it pampas grass here. Didn't know they were that easy and come in colors. Did an image search and saw some people braid them. Guess they could be used for hats too. They are a great look.
@@T-marie-N Yes I've worked around many landscapers and know how they treasure their terms. I guess blanket terms are my preferred means of speaking yard work.
@W Jack OK, I was going to refine my speak to "big and small pampas". I'll know fountain now. I used to work around landscapers and nurseries as customers. I know the game. Specific names are good for selling a product but some tend to throw around fancy terms. How bout "transmigrate" for move? I'm over in Alabama, worked in Atlanta after school. I really like the state. Family had a plantation there before the war.
Any way to stop the aftershock effect where the center dies out leaving a type of ring or aftershock? Is the only option to just divide it? Does the center die due to lack of nutrients? Could fertilization keep it alive?
I moved to a new place in December of last year and we have these, but they did not cut them down. Is it too late to cut down? Should I leave it until the fall?
You’ve got a beautiful yard my man! The deer have destroyed some beautiful shrubs I have lining our paver patio. Now I know what I can put in that’ll look nice and the deer won’t destroy!
I think you under-estimated the work required to keep this plant healthy beyond year 4. I have been told after that time, to avoid rotting from within, you need to dig the root ball (by this time about 3 ft wide) and divide it. Yes, you can divide it endlessly at that time, but it is also hard work. I've tried every saw and pick in the book, and that root ball is like a rock. I do love the plant, but instead of this ritual going forward, if the plant starts to show ill health at the core, it is getting dug up and given to a neighbor or tossed in the compost heap. It is just too heavy a job for an older person like me. (and I can't afford to hire people to do this job...I've priced it and they would charge me big bucks).
I have a few of these grass plants around my yard. I agree, they need very little maintenance. My only problem, after heavy rains they flop. Any advice? I do not like the look of tieing them back.
once they dry out they usually return to normal, unless they are old and rotting in the inner core. Then it is probably time (this fall or winter) to dig and divide. That is what is NOT mentionned about miscanthus. A root ball of 3 ft. wide is NOT for the faint of heart either. So, I do mine every three years, unless I just don't care how it looks and want to let it die on its own.
Thank you for this super video! Can you do the same for the Miscanthus Little tiger and the Miscanthus Gold Bar? I lost quite a few last winter and I didn't want to spend again only to lose them this winter. Thank for your help!
Hydrangeas, certainly aren't free but they sometimes can be found on craigslist from people with too many or moving. Most of them do well in shadier areas or dappled sun. I have one in full sun and its struggling and I need to move it to shade for this reason.
Sure this is from the USDA and will help you find yours and what they are - The USDA Hardiness Zone Map divides North America into 11 separate planting zones; each growing zone is 10°F warmer (or colder) in an average winter than the adjacent zone.

Great video! I separated and replanted these 2 weeks. I’m noticing they’re turning brown and seem to be dying. I did give them a bit of surf and turf compost just the other day. I’ll see what happens. Is this normal? Get worse before they get better next year? Thank you!
@@mistercmaine Where they are new I would just leave them in place and you will likely have a good surprise next year. I would give them every chance they can get for now.
What is the distance between the plant and the fence? Also, how wide is that bed? I have a very similar set up with my pool and I want to put grass plants up for more privacy. Thanks
But remember even the first year the plant reaches almost full height so if you buy these now and get them started next year they will be very far along. Cool stuff these grasses! amzn.to/2ZahWuk
Don't forget to tell your subscribers it's invasive and non native. It escapes yards and impacts our forests. It doesn't support wildlife either. If you want to see more lightning bugs or fireflies or grasshoppers or birds in your yard, plant native sedges. And don't cut them down until the spring. Little bluestem or big bluestem are two choices they could be better in this location.
Sorry to hear you don't like this one.. But this variety does not spread, it stays clumped as shown and not sure what kind of wildlife you want. I have found praying mantis on mine along with birds making nests from the debris it dies off each year.

When I had them I tied rope around them in the spring. In the fall I tightened the ropes and cut benith them making some nice Halloween hey bundles.
I actually did that one year and they are pretty cool! Someone else posted that you can make crafts from them too. Pretty slick
Super helpful. Just at the point of wanted to add some of those grasses. Thanks!!!!

Do you recommend a ph meter and if so which one. Thanks
I wish they worked better but in my experience they are very inaccurate. Only the chemical tests seem to work.
Have any recommendations for shaded areas?
Hydrangeas, certainly aren't free but they sometimes can be found on craigslist from people with too many or moving. Most of them do well in shadier areas or dappled sun. I have one in full sun and its struggling and I need to move it to shade for this reason.

It depends but I have had that happen. I think they will grow normally next season. They are very tough.

Looks great would that work in NC?
If it grows i cold Mass I am sure you could grow it there. It LOVES the heat of summer here a lot. Best plant I have ever bought.
Awesome 👍
How do you know what zone you are in?
What is the distance between the plant and the fence? Also, how wide is that bed? I have a very similar set up with my pool and I want to put grass plants up for more privacy. Thanks
What is the distance?
I was surprised they are 24 bucks a plant when they can be divided like this.

What are the gaps between the grasses please?
7' center of plant to center of plant
What store did you buy your root Assassin?
YOu can get it right here: amzn.to/31QFvtN
Great vid
Thank you!
Can someone tell me what are the name of those grasses,please?
What is the name of the plant ?
Would look better with curved grass beds and with groups of 3/5 plants together
So it takes 2 years to grow full size. From one plant you can make 4. It will take me 4 years to have a descent amount. Damn not bad.
But remember even the first year the plant reaches almost full height so if you buy these now and get them started next year they will be very far along. Cool stuff these grasses! amzn.to/2ZahWuk
The person that says they fall over don't fertilize them
Smaht!
Hi,you are mistaken ,this is not maiden grass morning light.
Maiden hair grass or zebra grass is nice. Stay away from pampas grass.
Try a native grass there are tall switch grasses. Miscanthus is an overused Asian invader
Is this a GMO grass
No
Sir. That ain’t morning light.
Name of this grass?
First
Don't forget to tell your subscribers it's invasive and non native. It escapes yards and impacts our forests. It doesn't support wildlife either. If you want to see more lightning bugs or fireflies or grasshoppers or birds in your yard, plant native sedges. And don't cut them down until the spring. Little bluestem or big bluestem are two choices they could be better in this location.
Sorry to hear you don't like this one.. But this variety does not spread, it stays clumped as shown and not sure what kind of wildlife you want. I have found praying mantis on mine along with birds making nests from the debris it dies off each year.
@@SilverCymbal you don't know how far the seeds have spread.
