If you’re familiar with perennial gardening, you know that each plant has its own maintenance regime. I am often asked about the different varieties of ornamental grasses at York Downs Golf Course and how to look after them.
Today I took care of the blue oat grass, botanically known as Helictotrichon sempervirens. The best thing to do is cut the old grass down using sheers or hand pruners. This eliminates blades of grass continually falling off during the growing season. Before too long the grasses will be full and lush again!
