I want to transplant part of a mature pampas grass (7-8 yr old).

Question

It is now August in zone 6. Can I do this now and still have plumes next summer? If so, what are the steps I need to take?
thank you

Answer 1

I wouldn't do this in the heat of summer, but would wait until winter or early spring. There is no guarantee the transplanted grass will have plumes next year, but it certainly could.
