When to Trim Dwarf Hairgrass?

In the carpeting phase, you'd want to trim your DHG whenever it grows taller than around 2 inches. Cutting it back to 1.5 inches encourages the horizontal spread and you'll have a lush green carpet way sooner than without regular trimming.

How do you trim dwarf grass?

To save time, use string to tie the dead stems together. Use pruning shears or a hedge trimmer, depending on how large and/or old the grass is. Trim all the foliage down to about 3 to 4 inches above the ground. Then, go over the stubble with your hands to loosen any particles that your pruning has missed.
