Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila'
pampas grass
An eye-catching ornamental grass, Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila' produces silky, silvery-yellow flower plumes in late summer above large mounds of sharp-edged, mid-green leaves. A particularly compact and free-flowering cultivar, it makes an excellent all-year focal-point for the smaller garden.
How to care for Cortaderia selloana Pumila:
Protect the crowns of young plants during the first winter with a deep, dry mulch. Each year in late-winter or early-spring wearing stout gardening gloves remove the previous year's stems by cutting and combing.
Make sure you do wear stout gardening gloves when you are working with these plants as the leaves have sharp margins which can cut your hands.
