| Hello ... first post on the grass forum, usually in the palm forum.
I have 4 types of pampas grass in my yard and ALL are struggling to come back. Cortaderia selloana - nothing yet, can pull some spurs, damp w/small worms in the pulled spurs
Should I wait or just replace them? Thanks for any advice. |

| With the wierd winter, it's possible you lost Cortaderia that can normally handle your zone. I'd expect signs of growth by now. |

| I have a similar question about my Morning Light and Cabaret Miscanthus - I cannot see growth on either plant. I am new to grasses and have started collecting... in my haste to move them to a permanent bed location I transplanted both about 3 weeks ago (clumps about 9 inches in diameter)...a tad early I am reading. Advice and or prognostication welcomed |

| Yes..a tad early. Were they showing growth when you moved them? Miscanthus is best transplanted/divided when it is in a growth period. You can do them up to 18" in new height, and they'll get through it. That said, just wait them out. A 9" diameter clump is a good-sized plant, and they are extremely tough critters. You'll be amazed what a couple of hot dry weeks will do for them. |
