Ornamental grasses are close to the easiest plants you can own. No spraying, no deadheading, barely any watering once they settle. But cut one too early and you lose a season of plumes. Cut too late and the new growth comes up tangled through the old. And cut liriope, mondo or a sedge the way you cut pampas and it can take a year to come back.
“Most grasses need one day of your attention a year. The trick is knowing which day.”
Over a third of the plants sold as grass here aren't grasses at all — and those plants are looked after differently. Once you know which you have and when to cut it, everything else is close to automatic.
Fifteen pages, beautifully designed and specific to ornamental grasses — not generic lawn or shrub advice off the internet.
Sun, water, feeding and the one real job. Four things decide almost everything, and then it mostly grows itself.
When to do it in Florida and beyond, which plants take a hard cut, which only want grooming, and the one grass you cut first.
Why liriope, mondo, sedges, rushes and flax lily aren't grasses — and why that changes how you treat them.
Flopping open, dying out in the middle, no plumes. What causes each and exactly how to fix it.
Spacing, safe handling, the tie-and-cut method, cutting plumes for indoors, and what to do when the plumes are late.
Pampas, muhly, Karl Foerster, switch grass, maiden grass, flame grass, fountain grass, liriope, mondo, Fakahatchee, rushes, sedges and flax lily — with size and zones.
A border of grasses is one of the biggest plant investments in a garden, and it's the one most often ruined by a single badly timed cut. This protects every one of them for the price of two coffees — and it's yours for life.
The cut happens in late winter, just before new growth starts — January to February in South Florida, February to March further north. Miss it and the new shoots come up through the dead ones, and the plant carries brown, chopped tips all year. Know the day before it arrives.
