| Hey Donn, I was out in the garden this evening puttering, and I thought to take a picture of how my Frosted Curls carex has rebounded from its severe haircut earlier this spring:
In fact, this one looks so much better than the others that I may cut them back, too. They still look crispy and dead. The tips of each grass blade are still blunted from the cutting, though (I think you had wondered about that) so I'm not sure if they will end up looking quite so graceful this way. Remains to be seen... but it's about 4 inches tall now. I literally cut it back to about 1 inch nubs. |

| Thanks, swamp. It looks like it doesn't hurt 'em. I trimmed one of my 'Bronze' about 2/3 of the way, but haven't noticed any new growth yet. |

| I trimmed one of my 'Frosted Curls' about 1/2, and I haven't seen any new growth on it, either. Must take a while to see growth if you haven't cut back the whole thing, then. |
