Description
Pink Pampas Grass forms large and impressive clumps 5 to 7 feet high and wide with large, feathery pink plumes in late summer and persisting but changing to a buff color through winter to add appeal in the winter landscape. The plumes are excellent for use in fresh or dried floral arrangements. Pampas grass is tolerant of salt spray so a fine choice for coastal landscapes.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a large, grassy mound 6 to 7 feet tall and nearly as wide, Pink Pampas Grass is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or to form a natural barrier in sunny landscape borders. It looks especially nice near lakes and other bodies of water, to frame entryways, or to frame corners or fill open walls in home foundation plantings. It makes for a nice solo or centerpiece in large containers of 18 inches or more in rim diameter. A fine addition to ornamental grass gardens, pink theme gardens, seaside gardens, and the Xeriscape (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing: Space 5 to 6 feet apart for hedges; 12 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Pampas Grass variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in large containers of 16 inches or more in rim diameter that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
Pampas Grass is very easy to grow and is not fussy about soil type provided the soil is well drained. Though a little shade is tolerated pampas loves as much sun as you can give it. seven hours of sun per day is suggested. Pampas Grass is tolerant of salt spray so a great choice for plantings near the sea.

I did not expect much in the way of size for a six inch pot but I received a very healthy, full plant. The packing was excellent and it has taken instantly to our sandy soil. It is growing fast and will make a great screen for the utility boxes at our property line. I can’t wait to see it in bloom.————————Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased!
