Pampas grass is a large perennial grass native to South America. It grows in large clumps eight to ten feet high, bearing in late summer pinkish silken plumes which rise to a height of 12'. Pampas grass can be a very attractive and functional plant when used correctly in the landscape. It can be used as a specimen plant in isolated locations on large lawns. Because it grows very rapidly into a massive plant, pampas grass is an excellent screening plant for sunny locations. Most gardeners, however, make the mistake of planting Pampas grass much too close to the foundation of the house. Sandy, well drained soil; drought tolerant; full sun. Zones 7-11
