Q.Does This White Fountain Grass Need To Be Pruned?

Zone Lakeland, FL 33813 | tomintampa added on February 4, 2025 | Answered

I have red fountain grass that goes dormant, I prune 6-8″ inches high in February and it comes back well in the spring. Also have this (attached photo) white fountain grass (photo taken on Feb 3) that appears in full bloom. Is there any need to prune since it is not going dormant? Thanks

It can help to prune out the bloom clusters once they die off, but there isn't much of a need to prune out anything that isn't dead. If you do want to prune to make it fill out a little more, now would be the time to do so.
