Pampas grass/cutting back

Question

We have always used chainsaw to cut our pampas grass & usually earlier than now (April 24) so I’m just asking if it will stunt it’s beautiful growth ……it has a lot of new green growing amongst the old so it will all be cut ??????? Thank you!! Lynda

Answer 1

Your Pampas grass will do better if you cut it down later in the year -- literally at the end of winter. If you cut it down now, then yes: you run the risk of cutting some new growth and it may not reach it's full height afterward. This article may help you:
