Can I prune my Juncus Effusus “Soft Rush” in the spring?

Multnomah County Oregon

Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Barb. These ornamental grasses should be pruned in early spring, after the last frost, so they have new growth upon which their flowers grow. Here is more about this plant: https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=c262

Good luck!
