Pampas Grass

Cortaderia selloana

Pampas Grass makes a massive statement — towering plumes of white or pink feathery flowers rising 8-10 feet above dense clumps of arching foliage. It's the Instagram grass, the boho décor grass, the grass that says 'dramatic.' One plant fills an entire corner. The dried plumes are hugely popular in floral design.

Care Guide

Plant in full sun with plenty of room — it gets enormous. Wear thick gloves and long sleeves when cutting back (razor-sharp leaf edges). Cut to 1 foot in late winter. Check local regulations — invasive in some coastal areas. Dwarf varieties like 'Pumila' are more manageable.
