| Hello,
What's the best way to prune/cut these types of grasses? Here's a pic of the blue fescue in our yard:
And here's a pic of the fountain grass:
Thanks for any help,

| Cut the fountain grass back to about 2 inches from the soil, since it is a younger plant. Older plants over the years develop a bigger crown, so prune lower if possible. The fescue as you call it just needs some manicuring, for instance cutting the seedheads of and the old and damaged blades. |

| The Fescue can be given a haircut now and the new growth should be blue. I haven't had much luck with Fountain grasses so I can't offer any advice. |

| You know, its been bugging me, and usually with a question about the fescue makes me want to find the answer to indetification, I believe your "Fescue" is a Sesleria cultivar......the seed heads finally gave me an idea..... |
