Growing Pumila Dwarf Pampas Grass

Pumila Dwarf Pampas grass fits in those smaller spaces in your garden and gives a stunning floral display - even in the first year after planting!  It is extremely showy with its large, fluffy white flowerheads on 18 inch tall stout stems.  The showy, silvery-cream plumes feel silky to the touch and are perfect for use in dried arrangements.  


This impressive perennial will thrive in hot, full sun exposures and is especially useful as a specimen along walls and in corners.  Pumila is a dwarf pampas grass that is a very good grower and much more cold hardy than the species. 

Plant this ornamental grass in moderately fertile soil with good drainage.  It is best to leave it standing over the winter before cutting it back hard in mid-spring.  If it needs to be divided, do it in the spring.
