When is the best time to prune pampas grass and how should it be done? Plus it has dead area in the middle. How do you get rid of that? Should I cut the whole thing down and start over?
After time the tussocks can become very large and congested with old, dead foliage. Cutting back and combing regularly in late winter or spring should minimise the dead foliage and keep the tussock compact http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardens/Hyde-...-the-month/October/Cortaderia-selloana-Pumila
