Pampas grass is a large perennial grass native to Brazil, Argentina and Chile. It grows in large clumps eight to ten feet high, bearing in late summer silvery-white or pinkish silken plumes which rise to a height of 12 feet. 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. Requires sandy, well drained soil. Drought tolerant, full sun. Grows 8-12' tall Zones 7-11
