One of the most cold hardy varieties of pampas grass, this selection is shorter and more compact than the others. However, it bears the same showy, medium-sized plumes which are silvery-cream and feel silky to the touch. They are perfect for use in dried arrangements.

Pampas grasses are beautiful plants that require minimal care. They grow the best in full sun and prefer well-drained soil that is consistantly moist. Instead of cutting back the foliage in the fall, wait until the following spring. It will act as its own protective mulch through the winter months. Plants may be propagated by division in the spring after they have been cut back.
Be very careful and wear gloves and long sleeves when handling this grass. It has very sharp edges!
