    I do have some ornamental grasses and the deer don't bother them. And, you shouldn't cut

    them back in the Fall. Cut them back in the Spring and they will do great.

    I love the ornamental grasses!!
    I planted gorgous ones out front called "purple fountains". The were beautiful and grew about 6 ft tall and 6 ft wide. Was so happy I would have something come up every year. I followed the instructions on cutting them back late fall and quess what....nothing the following year! Everyone I know doesn't cut theirs back till early spring. But I didn't know this at the time. Now for 2 years I have not seen them in again. Maybe I'll pick some other ones out. Thanks for the tip. :) Pammy

    Deer won't eat your
    Deer won't eat your ornamental grasses, so, you should probably just buy some new plants, since the ones you cut back haven't done anything in 2 years. And some grasses are only annuals. I think the purple ones are annuals not perennials. Be sure and check.
