Trimming and Pruning Ornamental Grasses

Cutting the grasses to 3 to 4 inches of the ground in the early spring will prevent the dying of grasses in the winter.

The grass varieties that survive in long in the winter season should not be cut. But you can just clean them up early in the spring and trim of the foliages.

Generally it is best to divide the grasses in the spring when the grasses begin to break dormancy. First dig the plant and then cut the clumps in to divisions with a sharp material. Replant the new division with the container grown plant. You will be surprised to see how the plants root themselves and grow faster.
