Q.Zebra Grass Hit With Rain

Zone Jefferson Township NJ 07438 | neilh88 added on June 13, 2020 | Answered

my zebra grass is a thick clump about 1 1/2′ across. It’s about 4′ tall. There was a really heavy rain storm which knocked it down but only about a quarter of it stood back up. That was 3 days ago. The past 2 days had beautiful weather. It should have come back up but didn’t. Should I cut the fallen stalks or wait a few more days. Nice weather is forecast. I don’t have the capability for photos.

This can indicate too shallow of a planting, lack of light, and root rot. Unfortunately, your photo did not come through, so I cannot say which it could have been.

In the meantime, this article will help with the care of the grass:
