Fountain grass emergence ?

I have a 2 year old fountain grass that lives in a pot on my back deck. It is showing zero signs of life - just brittle stems from last year, no sprouts. I don't remember when it broke dormancy last year. Does anyone have any clue if this puppy may be dead or alive? Thanks.

I don't know if yours is dead or alive, but I lost many grasses this year in that november cold snap. Some of mine that were really big are just putting out one or two little blades so far.

Is it mushy in the crown? Do the old stems pull easily from it?
Mine are all fine - just a couple of my Helichtotrichons need serious division.
I would wait a bit - it's a warm season grass & it ain't warm yet. Soon & very soon...

Semi mushy crown, and the old stems practically fall off it.

Our ornamental grasses here emerge in about 2 weeks. Now I have almost everyone so I don't expect any emergence. Most the the new growth starts in the perimeter and will fill in the center. I often cut out the central plant to get new healthy growth.

Bonehead - it's probably gone, but still, i would recommend waiting a bit. Should have shown some life by now, though.
If you're the curious type, dig it up to see what the roots look like - keep anything that resembles healthy!
