Purple Fountain Grass (Rubrum) - May 28th, 2006 at 10:03 AM
Last year I purchased purple fountain grass as a perennial. I live on Long Island in New York.
I planted the grass in my garden and cut it back in the fall to about 3-4 inches from ground. The grass looks as if it's dead, there is no sign of new growth. I looked at a few web sites and some say it is not a perennial here and some say it is. Will this grass come back? We had a mild winter. If it does come back, when should I see signs of new growth?
