Description

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 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.  Prohibited in CA, HI, NM, OR, WA and FL.
