Architectural Grasses - Care & Maintenance

We receive many calls for help regarding care & maintenance of grasses therefore we list below a few pointers to keep your plants looking and feeling good.

Warm Season & Non Evergreen Grasses
Regardless of their height, may be left until the late winter gales have destroyed the architectural beauty of the foliage and flowers, it is now before new growth begins March-April with us that each plant can be gathered up in gloved hands and cut back close to the ground, or back to a tussock. Follow with a general fertilizer application.

Evergreen Grasses
During winter evergreen grasses can look slightly dishevelled leaf tips can desiccate and tatter, how bad this is will determine how far to cut back. Early spring tidy plant by removing damaged leaf area only. Trim using sharp shears/scissors; try to steeply angle the cuts to resemble a more natural look. With evergreens the closer you need to trim to a tussock the slower the recovery, this can be helped by applying a general fertilizer.
