Pruning
Slender yellow-eyed grass has delicate, bright yellow flowers that thrive when strategically pruned between early and late spring. To support healthy growth and prevent overcrowding, remove spent blooms and dead leaves. Regular maintenance improves blooming, enhances airflow, and reduces the risk of disease. Be sure to use clean, sharp tools for the best results.
