Pumila Dwarf Pampas Grass

18-inches of silky, feathery plumes, Pumila Dwarf Pampas Grass (Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila') is probably one of the most impressive perennials you can grow! Pumila is a Dwarf Pampas Grass with huge, feathery greenish-white plumes. Turning a showy, silvery cream in the late summer to fall, they look and feel silky to the touch! Perfect for use in fresh and dried floral arrangements!

Pumila Cortaderia is a very good grower and much more cold-hardy than other species. 'Pumila' thrives in hot, full sun exposures and quickly grows to its 4-5 foot height while spreading 3-4 feet wide! The graceful fountains of fine-textured green blades grow up and out before arching down elegantly, each clump crowned in multiple fluffy plumes that wave high above.

Pumila is sterile and won't re-seed itself, so you can enjoy this smaller Pampas Grass without worrying it will jump borders! Thriving throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 10, and gardeners in zones 6 to 8 should protect the crowns of young plants in winter.

Planting and Application:

Dwarf Pampas grasses are especially useful as specimen plantings, in high-impact groupings, or in evenly spaced rows along walls! They create dramatic impact as garden anchors and softening structure corners! Rock Gardens and front yard berms benefit from a dramatic presence and the plumes are useful in cut flower gardens as fresh and dried flowers!

Use Ornamental Grass as a border along the backs of garden beds and borders for a flowing and graceful backdrop. Ideal for waving drifts in mass plantings that create white noise and fluffy texture that catches the eye from afar! Of course, a single plant is highly effective as a front garden focal point, or create a conversation piece with a row planted around your backyard seating areas!
