Time To Care for Your Grasses

DrPulte_Moderator | Posted in Southeast Gardening on

Time to think about your ornamental grasses! Cut back ornamental grasses to just above their growing crown. Divide any thick and overgrown clumps, and fertilize established grasses as soon as new growth appears.

    Has anyone ever used fire to burn down ornamental grasses?
