How Do You Trim A Pampas Grass Plant?
Pampas grass in your landscape provides a low maintenance ornamental addition to your garden. The grass provides a stunning decorative plant with long leaves and fluffy plumes. These hardy plants can withstand cooler temperatures, requiring minimal pruning to retain the shape. The need to trim back pampas grass stems from a number of reasons, including removal of dead leaves and controlling plant growth. Pampas grass should be trimmed just before new growth emerges in the spring. Many gardeners prefer to leave pampas grass intact throughout the winter despite the brown leaves because this plant looks beautiful even with brown, dried leaves. Evaluate the condition of current pampas grass. Make sure the plant has plenty of room to expand as needed. Pampas can reach 10 feet or more in height and literally take up as much room as you allow for spreading. Pruning presents the perfect opportunity to decide if you need to remove and transplant some of the grass to control the size of the plan
