Cortaderia 'Pampas Grass'

Cortaderia selloana, also known as Pampas Grass, is a large ornamental grass originating from South America. These grasses produce tall, slim, weeping blades that can easily reach over a meter in length. The grass tends to congregate into tussocks, or clumps of grass, averaging between 6ft-10ft wide. The showiest part of these plants is the tall silvery-white, feather-like plumes. These plumes are soft to the touch and make for an interesting accent in a garden which can be seen very well over other plants. It is tolerant of coastal and sandy conditions—highly salt tolerant, drought tolerant, and is also highly resistant to deer grazing. Due to it's self seeding habit, it can become weedy. Proper spacing for these plants is about 10 ft apart. Best used as a specimen standing alone or against a backdrop of evergreens. Showy blooms in late summer and fall and are good in cut and dried arrangements.
