    Should I cut down the plumes of my blue fescue now (Spring) or leave them as is?

    Hi Sue, yes, I’d go ahead an cut the plumes down. They must be rather tattered by now after going through the winter. You can even raze the entire clump to a hedgehog-like ball, really short. New leaves are going to sprout and the whole clump will look great with fresh leaves!
