Description
While these ornamental grasses are Semi Evergreen in warmer climates, during most winters in the UK they become dormant although the stems will mostly remain standing. Cut back to the ground in spring avoiding any new shoots that may be emerging. In milder winters it is possible that a number of the old stems may reshoot in later spring if left uncut.
