Pampas Grass Qty 30 Live Plants Cortaderia Selloana

Where winter hardy, this is a large ornamental grass for large landscapes. Excellent specimen. Background plant for borders. Screen. Plumes may be cut and dried for use in indoor flower arrangements. Winter hardy to USDA Zones 8-10 where it is best grown in dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade. Tolerates drought once established. Cut foliage back to the ground in late winter. Clumps may be divided in late winter to early spring. This grass is technically gynodioecious, but usually appears dioecious. Pampas grass is a late-flowering beauty. It adds colour and form to the garden from September until February, with its striking feathery plumes held high above a dense clump of foliage. The only maintenance job is cutting back the flowering stems and old foliage in spring. Traditionally, gardeners set fire to the plant - simulating what might happen naturally on the pampas - but this is not advisable, not least because you're likely to kill all manner of over-wintering wildlife. Instead, use loppers and secateurs. Search: Florida Foliage To View Our Full Collection
