Dwarf Pampas Grass
Zone 6 - maybe hardier
Hardier, smaller version of Silver Pampas Grass. A lovely ornamental grass with spectacular fluffy white plumes. Best form and performance in full sun and well-drained soil. There is quite a bit of ambiguity regarding this plant's hardiness. 'Expert' information rates the hardiness anywhere from Zone 5 to Zone 8. Unless you are gardening on the Sunshine Coast I think you will have difficulties overwintering Cortaderia with any consistency. However it is so spectacular it may still be worth growing even if only as an annual. This smaller variety is hardier so you may have better luck with it than it's bigger cousin. HEIGHT: 100-125 cm SPREAD: 60-90 cm
Grown in: 1 gallon container size
