Purple fountain grass

Question

Turns white winter, looks dead. How long does it take for it to come back, or is it dead. I was going to yank it, replace it, but needed to know if I should or not? It did great all last summer, planted in full sun. I’m in Albuquerque, NM.

Answer 1

The Fountain Grass should be pruned back in the spring.
