When to Transplant Pampas Grass?

Moving pampas grass or dividing it must be done early in the spring before any new growth has started. To begin transplanting pampas grass, the plants will first need to be pruned. Since the grass can be relatively sharp, carefully remove the foliage down to about 12 inches (30 cm.) from the ground with garden shears.

When can I transplant ornamental grasses?

Late winter or early spring is the ideal time for dividing ornamental grasses. As soon as the soil is warm enough to work, they can be safely split. To ensure success, dig and divide plants while they are dormant or before they go beyond their first stages of spring growth.

Can I transplant pampas grass in the summer?

The best time to transplant ornamental grass is in spring or early summer. Because of their slow root growth after midsummer, do not transplant after this time. To divide your ornamental grass plant and increase your supply, set the just-dug-up root ball on a hard surface.
