How far should I cut pampas grass

Cutting Pampas grass back to the ground is normally done once the plant is getting older and congested in the middle. For the first few years you need only remove the old flowering stems in early spring and pull out any dead leaves. Do be very careful, the leaves have backward facing barbs. You can put your hand in, but rip it to shreds when you pull it out!. Watch your face too when bending over the plant.

Thanx4 your warning&know how of this lovely plant : )
