Monkey Grass

Question

We just planted monkey grass as a border for flower bed. The stems of the monkey grass are turning brown. Do I cut this off or leave it? Is this normal?

Answer 1

Yes, this is fairly normal as it adjusts to its new surroundings. But don't worry, these plants are extremely tough and trimming off some of the foliage will help rejuvenate them.
