Description
A large and stately ornamental grass that is exceptionally easy to grow, the White Pampas Grass produces large fluffy white plumes atop strong stalks up to 10 feet tall that tower above impressive clumps of weeping grassy foliage. The flower plumes are excellent for cutting for use in dried flower arrangements. Exceptionally easy to grow and very drought tolerant when established. Its salt tolerance makes it ideal for use in coastal gardens.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing in a large mound 8 to 10 feet tall and nearly as wide, you’ll want to make sure to give this ornamental grass plenty of room to grow. Pampas Grass is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or to form a natural barrier or hedge in sunny landscape borders and coastal gardens. It looks especially nice near lakes and other bodies of water. Also useful to frame entryways or corners corners or to fill open walls in home foundation plantings. It makes for a nice solo or centerpiece in large containers of 18 inches or more in rim diameter. A fine addition to the ornamental grass garden and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs).
Suggested Spacing:Â Space 6-7 feet apart for hedges; 14 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of  USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7a, where this Pampas Grass variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in large containers of 16 inches or more in rim diameter that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. Allow to go dormant in fall and cut plant back before bringing indoors.
Growing Preferences
Pampas Grass is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average to low fertility and full to mostly sun. Does not like constantly soggy soil. It is tolerant of salt spray so a great choice for plantings near the sea.

I was skeptical on ordering online but I was pleasantly surprised. Their boxing and packaging it up was really cool. It kept the plants moist and was able to keep the dirt in the buckets. On top of that, the plants looked very healthy.——————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

Have ordered plants from other companies and they come with roots only and don’t even survive. Wilson sent me two Pampas grass plants as ordered and they were still wet when they arrived. It just shows me that Wilson cares that the plants we order will live. Will order from Wilson from now on.————————————–Thanks for the kind words!! We are so glad you are pleased with your purchase!

Great packaging, healthy plant, timely delivery considering Covid19 issues. Can’t wait to see the plumage! Recently placed a subsequent order and was just as happy with excellent delivery time.——————————-Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you are pleased! Beth | WBG
I ordered three of the 1 gallon sized plants. They arrived in excellent condition and wrapped very securely. I followed the directions, and watered them until I could plant them a week later. Three weeks later they’ve already grown longer leaves and appear to be thriving. I can’t wait for this summer to see their plumes come out. I planted them to help control erosion from heavy rains and for privacy. I think they’re a perfect choice. ——————— WBG Reply: Hi Martha!
