The majestic Cortaderia Selloana Rosea are densely tufted, tall and clump-forming, hardy, evergreen grasses. These elegant giants have gracefully arching, sharply toothed, blue-green leaves, topped in late Summer and early Autumn with gorgeous ornamental long erect stems carrying plumes of glistening feathery pink flower panicles almost like feather boas!
Cortaderia Selloana Rosea (Pampas Grass) grasses are best planted in a sunny location in the garden. Perfect as a focal point in a central bed, in a gravel garden, a centrepiece in a large courtyard garden, or planted in swathes along a sunny border adding statuesque elegance to your planting schemes. Plant with other ornamental grasses, or with Dogwood to enjoy the coloured stems with your Cortaderia Selloana as a backdrop. Also wonderful as part of a dried flower arrangement.
