Decorative Grasses are an essential to most Landscape Designs adding foliage texture & colour along with stunning flowers. With a variety available from both Native & Non Native Plant Species you are literally spoilt for choice.
Cutting back plants like Liriope, Pennisetum & Orphiopogon to about five centimetres from the base, will see fresh, new growth appear. Every couple of years this can be done to freshen up these plants.
If your grasses have been in for a number of years and you require some elsewhere in the garden, then Spring is the time to pull them up and divide them.
See how here. This also applies to lilies like Agapanthus, Day Lilies, Spider Lilies, Clivia and Hippiastrums.
Just remember that Agapanthus will be flowering in Summer so it’s always a good idea to leave them until flowering has finished.
