PLANT DESCRIPTIONS & FACTS

Cortaderia selloana rosea

Overall Description

Pink Pampas Grass is a magnificent addition to landscapes where a natural look is desired. Also works well to fill in areas where soil is poor, or other options have failed. Grows in large mounds, or clumps......referred to as tussocks, which can reach heights of up to 8 or 9 ft when in full bloom. Grass blades are evergreen in most locations, and have a very sharp, serrated edge to them - especially when brushed in the opposite direction of growth ( from tip to base ). Bloom heads ( panicles ) are a pastel pink color, and very feathery & soft in both appearance, as well as touch. They are commonly dried & used in floral arrangements all over the country. Blooms tend to start out with just a slight purplish / darker pink cast to them, and quickly shift into the soft pastel pink tones that this variety is famous for.
This beautiful ornamental grass is native to certain areas of South America, but is now widely seen, and used in most all parts of the world. It is very adaptable, and can withstand a wide variety of soils, and environmental situations.
