Pampas Grass Pink Feather

A beautiful cultivar of the magnificent pampas grass, Cortaderia selloana Pink Feather is a big, clump-forming, evergreen, perennial grass which makes a wonderful specimen, particularly good against a background of dark trees. The slender, arching, mid-green leaves form a dense clump over which pale pink flowers like great plumes appear in midsummer, persisting well into autumn. Pampas grass Pink Feather is very easy to grow, if you have the space for it; it needs protection in its first winter, but after that is perfectly hardy. Rake out dead leaves in late winter or early spring, wearing protective gloves – the leaves have sharp edges.
