Cortaderia selloana, commonly known as pampas grass, is a robust perennial bunchgrass that forms massive, dense tussocks of sharp-edged, arching foliage. Reaching heights of up to ten feet, it is celebrated for its spectacular, silvery-white feathery plumes that emerge in late summer. This architectural plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing remarkable drought tolerance. It is frequently used as a striking focal point, a natural privacy screen, or for dried floral decor.
