Pruning Fountain Grass

Question

I pruned back my fountain grass early this spring. It has been about a month since I did this and there is no new growth at all. It is planted in a sunny spot and gets plenty of water. What did I do wrong?

Answer 1

This winter was particularly cold for most of the US. It is possible that it simply got too cold. Another possibility is that if the area it is growing in is too wet, it cannot tolerate that over the winter. Here is an article to help you determine if it is dead or just on a slow start:
