Product description
Cortaderia selloana 'Pink Feather', commonly known as Pampas Grass 'Pink Feather', is a striking ornamental grass that adds a touch of elegance to gardens. Its dense, clump-forming habit features arching, blue-green leaves with sharply toothed edges, providing a lush backdrop for the stunning plume-like panicles. In late summer to early autumn, it produces glistening pink flower spikes that rise gracefully above the foliage, creating a dramatic focal point in any landscape.
Reaching up to 250 cm in height and spreading up to 150 cm, this perennial grass is well-suited for larger garden spaces where it can be showcased as a standalone specimen or incorporated into mixed borders. The 'Pink Feather' variety is particularly noted for its vibrant pink plumes, which not only enhance visual interest but also add movement and texture to the garden as they sway gently in the breeze.
Thriving in fertile, deep, well-drained soil under full sun, Cortaderia selloana 'Pink Feather' is relatively low-maintenance once established. It's advisable to protect the crown with a deep dry mulch during its first winter to ensure hardiness. Due to the sharpness of its leaf edges, wearing gloves when handling or pruning is recommended. With proper care, this pampas grass will reward gardeners with its majestic presence and long-lasting beauty from August through October.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Cut back pampas grass in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance. Wear gloves when handling, as the leaves can be sharp.
How to Water
Water pampas grass regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water deeply during dry spells, but avoid overwatering, as they prefer well-drained soil.
How to Plant
Choose a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Place the plant, backfill with soil, and water well. Space plants 150-180cm apart to allow room for growth. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
