Unhealthy looking Pampas grass
Hi there.
I am beginning to get worried about my pampas grass. It has grow rather successfully to knee height and survived the british winter however it is now showing signs of unhealthiness. Some of the leaves are ok however progressively others look ill. I am not too sure wether its just wind damage or something else... (I have cleared dead growth) To be honest I did just plock it down in my clay soil, having now read they prefer well drained soil I worry...is it the soil? Here are some pics... http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/...otos/grass.jpg http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/...tos/grassy.jpg http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/...tos/grassx.jpg Any opinions would be very welcome, thanks. |

AIUI setting fire to pampas grass 'because that's what happens in nature' is an urban myth (I'm not suggesting you did it for that reason, but some do). Cutting them back with good shears is as effective and much tidier. -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
