Pampas grass
Our problem is how to avoid the fronds falling over. When they are in full
display, in July, they are OK until the first rain and then they all fall to the ground and that's the end because they are either broken or weakened. Tieing them up looks awful and the whole bundle tends to lean one way or the other. This is a mature plant that was in the house when we bought it six years ago. Others in the neighbourhood do not seem to suffer this way. Is it just a duff plant or are we not maintaining it correctly? We cut it back as short as possible in March but we have not tried burning the base as some people do. Would that make a difference? Brian |

Brian You could try tying in the fronds to long thin canes to prevent them from getting broken. At a distance I'm sure the canes wouldn't show. Dave. |
