Interesting it's also called Stipa arundinacea. I recall him mentioning a couple of years ago that he was replacing his Stipa tennuissima (now Nassella 🙄) with this 'Pheasant's Tail' grass. Probably wishes he'd kept it now.

Several of my Anamanthele look like Monty’s but I’ve cut them back to see if I get any new growth. A couple had one or two wispy green stems so it seemed worth a try, fingers crossed.

Still panicking over my Panicum though which has still shown no signs of growth. I'm growing mine in a pot and I moved it to a new pot at the same time as cutting it back. Hope I haven't shocked it too much.

@LunarSea No signs of life here with P Squaw always one og the last plants to show signs of life in the spring. Looks lovely in November so all is forgiven. I doubt you will have done any damage. The worst thing you can do is split into small pieces late Autumn they won't grow but will struggle or die in wet soil.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

Oooo thanks - that's re-assuring.
I've just remembered though, when I first potted it up after digging it out of the ground, it was very late to show. I'd been so disappointed with it in the ground that I was in two minds whether to keep it anyway so I wasn't too bothered at the thought of losing it. And then it went on to grow beautifully in it's new pot
