Reeds do not need winter protection
Reeds are overwintering properly
Winter is coming and you are worried about your reed? Find out how to properly overwinter your reed so that it will not be damaged during the cold season.
Is reed hardy?
Both miscanthus and reed are hardy. They are spread all over the globe and thrive wild in places where it gets colder in the winter than ours.
So prepare your reed for the winter
However, a protective measure should be taken before the onset of winter: Tie the dried fronds and leaves of your reed or miscanthus together at the top. This prevents above all the penetration of moisture into the root area.
In addition, you should never cut back your reed before the onset of winter and so reveal the roots of the wet and cold.
Tips
Even reed, which is in the garden pond, does not need winter protection.
