Transplanting Large Ornamental Grasses?

[White Gardens]

I've seen those power shovels and they look sweet.

Rarely would I use one, but when needed it would come in real handy.

Whoa sweet. That would be a great fit for small trees in our nursery.

Re: These ornamental grasses.
I have a new customer who has let her two ornamental grasses get out of control. Over 6' high for both and 5' wide. She likes them, but not so big. What's the best way to trim them? Just top them off? And in the fall, can I just cut them to the ground and expect them to come back to a more manageable height in the spring or is that a No no for these? Thanks guys and didnt mean to hijack just thought you guys had answered his question.

Cutting them back does no good. Normally you cut them back early spring. All you would be doing is cutting dead growth from last year. So what you want to do is dig however much you want out. Warning they are hard to dig up... good luck..
