Default Grasses

I have some Karl Forrester grasses in my landscape. I did not trim them
back in the fall. Can I trim them back now?

Perhaps my favorite ornamental grass. =)

Good, then you wouldn't have had the "winter interest" that it provides.
The best time to cut them back is late winter, /before/ the new growth
emerges.

Can I trim them back now?


You can, sure. They may look a bit funky for a while, if there's already a
lot of new growth, until they fill back out. It'll look a helluva lot
better than not cutting them back at all.
