pampass grass

Yes you can cut pampas grass back now....in fact you need to. Cut it near to ground level.
Difficult plant to move....how big is it? You can split it or dig pieces from it.
Cut it back before you move it, of course.

Ryan let them grow to height you want before pruning.....you need a framework established first. I would concentrate on feeding this year and forget any pruning

Fairygirl I also grow Etoile Violette ...up a small wigwam.. Choice and lovely.
Hackanochloa is also a favourite of mine. Grow it in the ground but better in large pots where it can cascade. Lovely orangey red leaves in late summer. In one area I have a geranium rozanne alongside and aster frikartii monch behind them.

Well hello Janet..daintiness. Not enough info about you but I think you prob sre a very gentle person and certainly not a rock chick. Ha ha
I think camellia Daintiness was bred in Cornwall...my county. So I know now that you also have good taste in plants.

No busy lizzie, that's fine. It's good to be able to refer to it now on a thread where we can all understand each other a bit more.
I feel the forum has become a much nicer and friendlier forum over the past week or so...nice to be a part of it

Helianthemums, Arabis, alyssums, and aubretias as well as osteospermums are all colourful evergreen groundover for me. In dry warm conditions they are excellent as well as thymes

Well, Bev, , we know bit more about you...you're a teacher of mathematics with a fixation on the number 7 ! I also know you are female when before I thought Bev was a bloke.
Is your garden thinking influenced by numbers? Maybe planting in threes....prob sevens?? I suspect though yours is prob an organised one
