I have a question about pompas grass. It is used all throughout the medians in our city and the plumes are quite beautiful right now. My question is this: In the middle of the plant are long tall plumes which look brown and brittle (not soft and white). My husband says those haven't bloomed yet but I think they are dead and just weren't pruned from last season. Who is right?

I have a large section of pompas grass in my yard and in the spring I cut it all down to as low as the ground as I can. The first time I did this I was scared to do it, but it all came back. I love pompas grass. Mine is absolutely beautiful right now. In the fall, I cut some of the blooms off and use them in fall arrangements.

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
