Cortaderia, or pampas grass, is a dramatic ornamental grass known for its tall, arching foliage and magnificent, feathery flower plumes. These plumes, typically silver, cream, or pale pink, rise above the foliage in late summer and autumn, creating an impressive vertical feature in the landscape. The long, slender leaves form an elegant, fountain-like clump, adding structure and texture throughout the year.
Pampas grass thrives in sunny, well-drained locations, making it ideal for borders, large containers, or as a striking standalone specimen. Its ability to create movement and drama has made it a popular choice for gardens large and small, adding an eye-catching statement to any outdoor space.
