Trimming / Separating Zebra grass

Question

I have a large clump of zebra grass that I wish to dig up and divide. It is approx. 6′ tall and 2′ in circumference. It is mid-September and I would like to cut it down to approx. 2′ from root and divide. Is September too early to do this..??

Thank you

Scott

Answer 1

It will be ok to divide the grass now, however I recommend doing so in the spring for a better success rate. Everything else you plan to do with it appears spot-on.
