Macomb Township, MI 48044 Zone 5Q.Pampas Grass
We live in Michigan and we have pampas grass. We cut the plant down in the early spring, but leaving about 5 inches above the ground of the dried canes. Our grass grows only on the outside of the clump. Are we doing something wrong, or is this the natural habit.

July 17, 2017A.The inner core dies out. You will need to dig it up and divide the plant next spring. It is a whale of a task, in my experience. Once it is out of the ground, pitch the dead core and select outer sections to replant. If you do this every 3 years, it isn't that bad a task but if the grass is, say, 10 years without dividing, you are in for some work!

76087Q.Pampas Grass
1. My pampas grass had a large limb fall on it from a storm. Do you think I need to give it time to see if it will bounce back before I cut it back. 2. I have 3 plants that are maybe 8-10 years old. They grow tall with plumes but are now hollow in the middle. Is that usual?

98034Q.Pruning Pampas Grass
Our landscape company just pruned 2 of our pampas grass plants - they too all of the plumes leaving a straight line across similar to a hedge trimming I understand Early Spring is the best time to cut back or prune the plant so my quesiton is: Will the plant bloom again before winter? Did this damage the plant? It appears that Pampas Grass is very sturdy to we "should" be ok. I do look forward to your response as onr of our residents is furious. Thank you, Mary Lou

August 11, 2017A.Well, one has to question how competent this company's workers are. All ornamental grasses are cut down in late fall to very early spring based on the customer's preference. This is a basic landscaping rule. If the seed plumes had just emerged, the plant may send up more; however, if the seed plumes were mature, the plant has done its work for the season. More leaves may appear, again depending on where it was in its shift to dormancy; the more green it was the more likely new leaves will appear. Since the appearance of the grass has been ruined for this year, consider cutting it down late this fall.

Destin, FLQ.Pink Pampas Grass not pink.
I waited two year for it to bloom and it finally did, but they are beige, not the beautiful pink that I paid for. I live in zone 8 on the beach. Can I add something to the soil for them to be pink?

August 14, 2017A.There are many varieties of Pampas Grass and some varieties have a range from silver to pink.
Changing soil content will not change the color of your grass blooms.
Planting in a full sun location is best and will result in the most blooms.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/pampas-grass/growing-pampas-grass.htm

August 21, 2017Q.Pampas Grass
I have five Pampas Grass plants in my front yard. All are at the base of my front hill near the street. Four have beautiful white plumes, but the one at the base of the driveway has plumes but they are a "dirty brown" color rather than white. Water does run down my driveway toward the street. Could that plant be getting too much water to cause the discoloration? Or perhaps it is a male plant, and the plumes are not as white as female plants?? Thanks for your help.

August 22, 2017A.Pampas grass plumes do turn brown when they dry out at the end of the season, or when the plant itself is having trouble absorbing water. Check whether the plumes and the leaves on the brown plant are brittle, as if they have been dried, and whether the leaves of that plant are also turning brown. If so, this could be due to underwatering or, as you suggest, overwatering, because excessive water could damage the roots and cause the plant to have trouble delivering water to its plumes and leaves.
