Keeping Evergreen Grasses Looking Great!

[@Kenny-vv2qo]

Thank you for posting this. I love feather grass and planted a few in my front yard. Started to notice its gotten too heavy and falling down. Wasn't sure how to prune it and get rid of the dead ends. This was a very helpful video.

Awesome tips thank you.

Thank you for the video.
I live in San Diego, CA, what time of year should I do this? How often?

[@tejalshah341]

Thanks for the video. At what time of year should you cut tenusimma stipa grasses back like this?

[@tejalshah341]

Hi! What month do you do this? My tenussima stipa is looking quite dead (we are in London UK), should I try cutting it back more hard to see if it comes back or is it just not waking up yet?

[@bogbrither]

Does this attract ticks?

Hi, How would you trim the blue fescue grass? In a similar way?

[@waterwisegardeningllc79]

Yes, comb it out and trim off any dead tips.

I just cut them 2 inches from the ground and I get crazy growth

[@hugocervantes26]

Type of plant?

[@waterwisegardeningllc79]

This plant is Nassella tenuissima , the common name is Mexican Feather Grass.

I would only have one. Looks like too much work. The clean up.

[@aaronpage1822]

Isn’t it easier and better for the grass to just be cut back?

[@waterwisegardeningllc79]

Yes, it would be easier but with this particular grass, Silky thread grass, it's necessary to comb out the old spikes. I f you just cut Mexican feather grass, the new growth comes out of a flat surface and it looks really strange. If you have this particular grass, it's worth the extra effort.
