Pruning

Sword-leaf blue-eyed grass is a popular choice for gardens due to its striking blue flowers and sword-like leaves. To maintain its health and enhance its appearance, prune dead leaves and spent stems in early spring. This promotes new growth, improves air circulation, and encourages the plant to grow in a denser clump.
