Product description
Tiny Pampa is a compact Pampas Grass variety boasting lush, slender, mid-green grassy evergreen foliage that provides colour and texture interest throughout the year. In August, tall stems produce long, feathery-silvery-yellow plumes that sway gracefully in the breeze, adding movement to any outdoor space. These plumes can be cut and dried and are popular for use as natural Pampas Grass décor indoors.
Cortaderia is an easy ornamental grass to grow and care for. It prefers a spot in full sun and thrives in well-draining soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells. Add a layer of mulch around the base of the plant in autumn to help protect roots against frost damage and prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged foliage and the previous year’s stems.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

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.
