Cutting Back Ornamental Grasses

Yesterday was beautiful in Kansas City. The gardener in me had to get outside and get my hands a little dirty! I decided to cut back my ornamental grasses that I wrote about yesterday. To make the job easier, first I tied each grass up with natural twine.
Then I used my Felco hand pruner to cut off last years growth about 6-8" high.

Since, I only have three, this was not a problem. If I had a lot of grasses, I would use a hedge trimmer. A hedge trimmer makes the job go really fast!
