Total:

Pampas grass is a large, dramatic ornamental grass forming a massive fountain of long, arching blades crowned by tall, silvery-white feathery plumes. The striking plumes rise well above the foliage and make a bold landscape statement, also prized for dried flower arrangements. Fast growing, sun loving and drought tolerant once established, it suits spacious gardens, screens and focal points. The leaf edges are sharp, so site it away from paths and play areas. In some regions it can self-seed and spread, so position it thoughtfully. With minimal care it delivers years of striking seasonal display.

Uses

Grown as a bold ornamental focal point, screen or windbreak, and its plumes are popular in dried floral displays. Adds height, drama and texture to large gardens.

Growing tips

In India, plant pampas grass in full sun with plenty of space, where it is highly drought tolerant once established. Cut it back hard in late winter wearing gloves and long sleeves, as the leaf edges are razor sharp.

Red Pampas Grass Care

Cortaderia selloana thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and this 6-inch grow bag plant is happy in the ground or a large container. Water regularly through the first growing season to establish deep roots, then it becomes fairly drought-tolerant and needs little fuss. Cut the clump back to near ground level in late winter to make way for fresh feathery plumes, and wear gloves as the leaf edges are sharp.

Where to Place Red Pampas Grass

Use Red Pampas Grass as a bold focal point at the back of a border, along a boundary, or beside a driveway or gate where its tall reddish plumes can catch the light. It suits large pots on terraces and rooftops, and works well as a natural privacy screen once mature. Give it an open, sunny spot with room to spread, as clumps grow wide over time.

Red Pampas Grass Benefits & Uses

The showy red-tinged plumes make excellent fresh or dried cut arrangements and add texture and movement to any garden. As an ornamental grass it is low-maintenance, tolerant of heat and poor soils, and helps soften hard landscaping. The dense clumps also offer shelter for birds and small garden wildlife.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water pampas grass?
Water regularly during establishment, then only occasionally, as mature clumps are very drought tolerant.
How much light does pampas grass need?
It demands full sun for strong growth and abundant plumes; shade leads to weak, sparse clumps.
Is pampas grass safe for pets?
The plant is non-toxic, but the sharp-edged leaves can cut, so keep pets and children from brushing against it.
Do I need to divide pampas grass?
Large clumps can be divided in spring to manage size and propagate, though it is a tough, demanding job.
How do I propagate pampas grass?
Divide a mature clump into rooted sections in spring using a sharp spade and sturdy gloves.
Why are my pampas plumes sparse?
Few plumes usually mean too little sun, a very young plant, or overly rich soil; give it full sun and patience.
When does pampas grass flower?
It sends up its tall plumes from late summer into autumn, and they last well when dried.
Can I grow pampas grass indoors?
No, it is far too large and sun-loving for indoors; the dried plumes, however, are popular in indoor decor.
Is pampas grass toxic to humans?
It is non-toxic, but the saw-edged leaves can cause skin cuts, so always handle it with gloves.
What fertilizer does pampas grass need?
It needs little feeding; a light spring application is enough on poor soils, as rich soil weakens it.
