Pampas Grass is a fast growing, showy ornamental grass that can grow to 8-10' tall. By its third year it produces an amazing amount of large, arrow-shaped, fluffy white plumes that tower above the large clumps pof weeping foliage. Plumes are excellent for cutting for fresh or dried arrangements. Pampas Grass is very easy to grow. Useful as an accent, specimen, small grouping, mass or screen in landscape beds, borders, meadows, wild gardens, cottage gardens, naturalized areas, pond/water garden peripheries, or on either side of a driveway entry.

White Pampas Grass Feeding Instructions

Instructions regarding the feeding of ornamental grasses are really very simple - don't do it. Unlike lawn grasses, most ornamental grasses (excluding Miscanthus grasses) prefer to be left alone. They will be sturdier without the addition of commercial fertilizers. If fertilized, tall-growing ornamental grasses will stretch from rapid growth and therefore become weak and unable to hold themselves up, becoming floppy. Look at it this way, ornamental grasses are low-maintenance plants you won't ever have to remember to feed!
