Should I cut these somehow? Where? Clearly I hate gardening...
Thanks,

Someone else may have a better answer, Don....but I'm thinking if you had someone (a contractor for example) plant those for you - give them a call and ask. I get questions all the time from clients I did work for asking questions about various items relating to our projects. In this business - it's not unusual at all, given the nature of the materials used.
Edit: Upon further inspection.....those aren't Purple Fountain Grasses, are they Don? If so, you need to cut them down to about 4-6 inches from the ground. They are a true perennial.
Here's an Internet pic of a variety of Purple Fountain Grass called 'Fireworks'......did it look kinda like this?
