Do you cut back muhlenbergia in the spring?

Hi all. I'm new to ornamental grasses, having planted several varieties last year. For most of them, I left the dead leaves and "plumes" (don't even know the terminology!) over the winter. Now that there is the beginning of new growth showing, I cut down the clumps and everything seems happy. However, my muhly grass never turned brown, so I don't know whether to cut it back or not. The blossom stalks are the only brown thing on them, but it would be a MAJOR hassle to cut each of them out. What do you do??
