72-84" (6-7ft) tall
x 48-72" (4-6ft) wide. 'Pink Feather' Pampas
Grass creates
a monumental and theatrical display wherever it grows. The huge plumes are
often dried and used in large vases for interior decorating. Plant 'Pink
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. The name Pampas comes from an area of rangeland in
Argentina, South America, called The Pampas, known for Argentina's famous beef cattle. 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.
