Dwarf Pampas Grass | 10 Live Plants | Cortaderia Selloana Pumila | Compact Low Maintenance Drought Tolerant Ornamental Grass

One of our showiest ornamental grasses, Dwarf Pampas Grass (Cortaderia Pumila) blooms in mid-summer with big, fluffy pure white plumes. This Argentinian native grass is outstanding as a specimen perennial or planted in linear beds along walls and fences. Tough and trouble-free, it is non-reseeding and safe to plant in the Mid-Atlantic states and other areas where regular pampas grass will spread. 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. Cortaderia selloana, commonly called pampas grass, is native to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. It was planted around the world in Victorian times, and today is considered to be one of the most popular of the ornamental grasses. This is a tough, large grass that forms dense, substantial clumps featuring arching, finely serrated, narrow green leaves that are topped in fall by huge, feathery, silvery white plumes. Pumila Pampas Grass is a dwarf, cold hardy pampas grass selection that features showy plumes of flowers. The plumes of creamy white flowers are held on upright stalks from late summer through fall. Where winter hardy, this is a wonderful ornamental grass for large landscapes. Excellent specimen. Background plant for borders. Screening. Plumes may be cut and dried for use in indoor flower arrangements.
