Ornamental Grasses been flattened!

Hi everyone! Help needed please! 2 weeks ago, i was given a large ornamental grass plant. I planted it, and it was doing really well, until my big Ridgeback dog decided he would like to roll all over it. I've tried supporting it with canes, but it just flops back down. It looks terrible!. I don't know what to do with it, does anyone have any ideas please?

 

Hi Foxy....I had a similar to do with our humping great cat deciding to kip in one of mine...:dh:I pushed in a central cane and tightly tied the grass to it...Eventually new growth replaced the saggy stuff which I pulled off the plant as it withered...all I did really was to make it look a little better and up off the soil.
So...Dogs , Cats or Grasses...Which is your favourite?:D

 

Thanks Paladin, :gnthb: i will try that. Alot of it looks dead already, should i take that off now or wait to see if new growth comes through??
At this moment, i prefer the Grasses!!:wink:

 

OMG! i don't believe it! i have tied it up as you suggested, now my dog is brushing up against it as he is walking past. Any suggestions as to why he is doing this?? He has never done this to a plant before!!

 

Any chance another dog or even a Fox(no pun intended:hehe might have peed on it?

 

What an outstanding dog you have-sorry no advice on the grass front-but just had to praise your choice of dog. Bet you don't get too many burglaries lol.

 

Hi again, no other dogs have been in the garden, but there is a chance of foxes, we do have alot of them roaming round of a night.

Thanks for the compliment on my dog, we feel very safe, hes a great guard dog but also very loving to us - but not ornamental grasses!!
