For the poster that talked about grasses with me

[GrendelsMum]

I can't remember who it was, but I was chatting with someone about gardening with grasses, and I said that last year I'd planted
calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Overdam', calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' and stipa gigantea.

NOW what on earth do I DO with them?

The new foliage is coming through, but the old leaves are still there. Should I have cut them down to ground level at some point? Should I cut them down to ground level now?

Please help!

I don't have any grasses (yet) but yes do prune them now so the fresh growth can come through

I'm not sure what to do either.

One of my grasses looks rather gorgeous with its browny fronds. It reminds me of Dougal in the magic roundabout. It's got new shoots coming through but I'm reluctant to cut it right back.

Thanks - I;ve obviously left it too late! think I'm going to end up very carefully cutting out each frond of dried grass this weekend...

Calamagrostis - I hack right down. The new growth always looks fine. I've just done mine.

Stipa gigantea. I get a hand fork and "comb" out the dead leaves because if you cut it right down you get blunt ends which persist all year.
