Pruning blue grama grass — FAQ
When should I prune blue grama grass?
Late winter to early spring before new growth. Cut or shear the clump to 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) above ground in late winter, or rake through with a hand rake to remove dead blades while leaving the basal growing points intact.
How often does blue grama grass need pruning?
Annually. Blue Grama Grass is a low-maintenance native prairie grass. Give it a light cutback in late winter or very early spring to remove dead foliage before new growth emerges. A hard shear is acceptable but usually not needed — many gardeners simply rake out dead material. Leave seed heads standing over winter to provide wildlife value.
