Hardy Pampas Grass, or Ravenna Grass, makes an excellent specimen plant all year. Airy white plumes form in mid-summer over green foliage. In autumn, leaves turn to bronze then red, adding a layer of color and visual interest. Plant can reach up to 12 feet tall, perfect for creating living fences or adding privacy to the landscape. This cold-hardy, quick-growing grass can help stabilize soil and prevent erosion. (Saccharum ravennae)
Foliage plant all season. White plumes form in mid summer and continue through fall.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
60-144"
tall (5-12 ft) x 48-72" wide (4-6 ft). Hardy Pampas Grass is a more cold-hardy
variety of the popular White Pampas Grass. Saccharum ravennae 'Erianthus' will
grow in colder regions down to a zone 6. Hardy Pampas Grass grows to about 5
feet and then sends up airy, white plumes that can reach up to 10 feet tall. A
great addition to any garden Allow foliage to
stand through winter, as it protects the crowns from cold damage and attract
birds to the garden.Not
