My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Trimming Variegated Japanese Silver Grass (Miscanthus)

20 years ago

I was wondering if I could trim this kind of grass back now without hurting it. I want to trim some of it because it is flopping over in the front. Would that be okay to do?

Also, does anyone know when this variety "flowers"?

Thanks,

Heather
