How long does it take to grow again?

I cannot burn my Pampas Grass because it is next to a wooden fence, but
I have used a strimmer, hand held shears, and a hedge trimmer to cut it
down to a stump. The hedge trimmer is the best tool IMO.

Yes they were serious, people with large gardens do this ...though you

They do actually burn in the wild.
I just use a strimmer on mine..but do not damage the crown.



We used to have one and just pruned off ragged leaves - avoiding the
temptation to pull dead/dying leaves out with bare hands - they rip skin
like razor blades! Someone once said that you can set fire to them and
let
all the old leaves burn - this is what supposedly happens to them out on
the
plains. I don't know if they were serious or not.
