last year i planted several varieties of grasses in my landscape, most of which are doing great. however, many of the miscanthus sarabandes look dead in the center with just a bit of growth around the edges. did i do something wrong when i cut them back in the spring? are they done for? i spread wood ashes about a week ago...
