# How to Prune Orange Sedge Ornamental Grass
Orange sedge is an ornamental grass that grows in clumps with blades that can reach up to 18 inches tall. During the winter, the grass turns brown and will become dry. Pruning the Orange sedge involves cutting back the dead grass to encourage the plant to produce new blades. Pruning also keeps the garden looking tidy. If your winters are extreme enough that your temperatures reach below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, you will simply remove the sedge.
