Muhly Grass

Question

We live in Winston-Salem, NC. Muhly Grass originally planted spring, 2015. We cut it back to 8-10″ high in Sept. 2015. So far we only see the dead sprigs. Should we be seeing green growth by now? We’re afraid it’s all dead. Thank you!

Answer 1

Cutting the grass back should not have been an issue. Many people leave the grass for winter and then cut back in spring.
Give the plants a bit more time to wake up. Applying a light feeding of a balanced fertilizer can help a slow growing plant. Don't over fertilize.
