Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Ornamental Grass
Plant Family: Poaceae
Plant Description: Hardier dwarf version of pampas grass. Large white clusters of flowers are extremely showy. Grows best in warm locations and will need some shelter in northern Utah. Plant in full sun in well-drained soils. Seeds are sterile so it will not reseed.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Ornamental Grass - Large
Plant Care: Ornamental Grass - Large (showy non-turf grasses that go dormant in winter, 6-12' tall): Gather tall stalks together and secure with a bungee cord or rope. Use hedger or hand pruners to cut and remove 2/3 of the total grass height. Trim sides. Rake out any loose grass blades in and around grass clump. For warm season grasses (more common), this is best done in late winter to early spring. For cool season grasses apply the same maintenance practices in the late fall, once the plant is dormant.
