How to prune hard rush

Late winter to early spring before new growth emerges. Cut dead stems to the ground with sharp secateurs or scissors. Avoid cutting into living green stems. Tidy loose dead material from the clump centre by hand if needed.

Annually in late winter; as needed during the season. Hard Rush requires minimal maintenance pruning. In late winter, cut back any dead, brown, or frost-burned stems to ground level before new growth begins in spring. During the growing season, remove entirely dead stems to keep the clump presentable. Divide overly large clumps every three to four years to keep them vigorous.
