    Love this tip. I help my parents with their garden and they have several purple fountain grasses that I’ll hello trim for the first time. Thank you for the tips! Happy Gardening 🌻🌻🌻

      @dianesgardeninspiration it's the rich color and movement of grasses that I adore.

    I think it might be easier to clean up if you use two ropes and cut between them. So the mess is in a bundle too😊

      I used to use shearers but this is so much faster and neater

    I have not trimmed mine in over a year and they are huge. Do you have to cut them down that far?

      You don't have to cut it back, but it helps new growth in the spring.

    Do you prune every year?

    • @GardenDiscovery
      @GardenDiscovery  2 місяці тому +1

      @willspoint88 I do, because it seems the grass benefits to be cut back so the energy goes into root growth more than above ground during colder months. It's not necessary, but I do believe it helps the grass for next spring and summer. Great question.
