No, pruning back ornamental grasses in fall will not hurt the plant. You can clean these up by pruning at any time of the year without it hurting as ornamental grasses are hardy.

In the spring do you cut down ornamental grasses?

Yes, ornamental grasses should be cut or clipped to the ground in late winter/early spring, just before they begin putting on their new growth. Waiting until later to cut them will not inhibit their new growth. Cutting back old growth will clip the new growth leaving straight edges on the new growth blades. They can be pruned back in fall, too. Waiting for late winter/early spring allows the birds and other wildlife to eat the seeds from the plumes and ornamental grasses are attractive garden plants for winter interest.


How does grass get pollinated?

By the wind is the way in which grasses are pollinated.Specifically, native and "wild" grasses typically begin catching and releasing pollen into the air in the late spring, usually May. Ornamental and turf grasses usually extend their pollination times into the summer and fall. The male structures that produce and release pollen are anthers. The female structures that stop and use the pollen are stigmas.

Do you cut off the dead flowers of the butterfly bush?

Butterfly bushes grow rapidly and benefit from pruning. Individual flowers or clusters needn't be removed. In the fall, mulch well. In the spring, cut back drooping or other unwanted branches. Follow general pruning guides.... cut just above the joint of another branch, so growth may continue. Every three years (after the plant is well-established) entirely cut off (at the ground) the oldest third of the branches. Butterfly bushes may be trained into general shapes by pruning (conical, etc) but are best as specimen plants in their fairly natural shape, as a backdrop for other plants in the flower bed.
