'Pumila' Dwarf Pampas Grass makes a bold statement with massive ivory plumes towering over handsome arching foliage. Attractive feathery flowers emerge in late-summer and last for months. Like their larger counterpoints, the silky plumes are an excellent attraction in the landscape, and are beautiful for cutting or drying. Pampas Grass tolerates wind and moves gracefully in a breeze. A tough, fast-growing and drought-tolerant specimen, this variety is sterile and will not reseed. (Cortaderia selloana)
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).
36-72"
tall x 36-48' wide. 'Pumila' Dwarf Pampas Grass is one of the showiest
ornamental grasses, providing lush texture and contrast. Long, flowing stems
provide strong architecture to the garden and pair well with other bold plant
forms. The gorgeous plumes are sterile, meaning flowers do not produce viable
seed so plants will not become weedy like other pampas grasses. Plants are
adaptable and versatile. Use as a specimen or plant in masses for windbreaks,
backdrops, or as a privacy screen. Grows in any average to dry soil with good
drainage and tolerates challenging conditions such as air pollution, dry winds,
and salty mist. Leave standing for visual interest and habitat over the winter,
then cut back dead foliage in spring, wearing gloves to protect hands form the
sharp blades. Deer and rabbit resistant.
