Pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana) is a tall, ornamental grass known for its striking, feathery plumes that add a dramatic flair to any landscape. Native to South America, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, growing in clumps that can reach up to 10 feet in height. The fluffy, silvery-white or pinkish flowers bloom in late summer to fall, creating a stunning visual contrast against the greenery. Pampas grass is popular in gardens, as a decorative plant, and in floral arrangements, but can become invasive in some areas if not properly maintained.
