72-84" tall x
48-72" wide. 'White Feather' Pampas Grass is world-famous for its massive size and
theatrical floral display. Plumes emerge mid-summer and shine silky white above
narrow blades of vibrant green. Plumes last through the winter, adding texture
during the dormant season. They are prized for their versatility in flower
arrangements and dried indoor decorations. Plant 'White Feather'
in large
masses for a showy windbreak, or as an accent in the mixed perennial border.
Pampas grass is tolerant of wind and drought. Allow foliage to stand through
winter, as it protects the crowns from cold damage and attracts birds to the
garden. Wear protective clothing when cutting back in early spring as foliage
can be sharp. Pampas Grass is extremely easy to grow and can reach
heights of eight feet or taller, making it a great option for a living fence or
privacy wall. Not Recommended for California: The California Native
Plant Society warns about the invasive qualities of another species of pampas
grass in regions along the California coast and on nearby Pacific islands. This
species, Cortederia selloana is not as invasive as C.
jubata, but still considered a risk for those areas.
