Fountain Grass

15 years ago

With all the rain here in Florida, one area of my yard where I have fountain grass growing has been very soggy for about a month. All of the green fountain grass appears to be dead. The purple fg is ok. Do you think the green will come back when the area dries out?

Anything is possible, but it's not likely. Plants can drown, just like people, though it takes longer, of course. :) If you can see any green at all in the crown, you can try lifting and potting the plant up, and you MIGHT be able to save the plant.
