Cut Back For Red Baron, Japanese Blood Grass - November 5

Last year was my first year with this grass and I cut twice to see if new growth will show after the first one. Result is none and everything die back during winter. So, doing a once over cut back this year. With way more blades this year, I tie them with a piece of string which made a messy job of clean up non existent. Home garden in Canada west coast zone 7
