Q&A – Should I water my dormant ornamental grass in the garage during the winter?

Question:
Should I water my dormant ornamental grass in the garage during the winter?
​​
Answer:

The plant is dormant and does not need much water. University of Memphis Director of Landscape Joellen Dimond says water it well when you put it in the pot to bring it in. Then check it every once in awhile and water if the soil is dry.
