Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comWhat is the proper way to trim fountain grass and firecracker plants? How many times a year should they be trimmed? My landscaper now is cutting the fountain grass short, straight across with a flat-top look. Is the the proper way? The firecrackers are being trimmed in order not grow tall but to drape over a wall.

This foliage will die back in the winter anyway. Yes, when pruned it looks just like someone gave the plants a flattop buzz cut.
