Dead ornamental grasses

Hi,

I bought some reduced ornamental grass from a local centre that is completely brown and wilted. Can this be revived? If so, how?

Thanks

 

Lee, do you know the name of the grass?
Was it like this when you bought it? What did you do about planting it?
Any signs of green near the base?
Maybe post a picture?

 

Hi Verdun,

Not sure on the name it was in the reduced section whilst I was buying some other plants for my border.

It was like this when I bought it. Yet to plant. Bought it this morning but had to work.

If there is no sign of green is it a lost cause?

 

Not necessarily Lee......just give it a water and see how it responds. Some grasses like moisture, others dry and some grasses .....sedges...are actually brown.
Sorry not to be more definite

 

Hello @Lee Savage is it possible you can add pic's please mate as it would help more

 

Grass! Such a versatile plant. I agree with Verdun. Presumeably it's in a pot. The browned dead parts are just that. New growth only comes from the root ball. I suggest cutting down to just above the rim of the pot, keep it watered. Don't go feeding it, just water and leave and watch for new growth. Some grasses do die back and then sprout in season. Once it shows good signs of life, split it up and repot or plant out.
