Which ornamental grasses you should cut back in late winter. By cutting the right grasses at the right time, you will promote vigorous growth in the coming spring and summer.

Be sure to consider the individual needs of different types of grass. Summer green grasses require pruning in March at the latest. The elephant grass (Miscanthus) is cut back heavily in spring. Evergreen grasses such as sedges (Carex) or forest marbels (Luzula) behave like perennials and do not need pruning.
