Cortaderia

Cortaderia selloana, commonly known as pampas grass, is a highly decorative perennial known for its tall, feathery plumes and dramatic vertical form. A favorite among landscapers, florists, and event designers, this ornamental grass adds texture, height, and elegance to garden displays, modern interiors, and dried arrangements. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Cortaderia is both visually impressive and low-maintenance, making it ideal for professional use across seasons. 

Why Choose Cortaderia selloana?

  • Low Maintenance: Once established, Cortaderia is drought-tolerant and thrives with
    minimal care. It prefers full sun and needs only occasional pruning in early spring to
    remove old foliage.
  • Seasonal Versatility: While especially popular in late summer through winter due to
    its plume maturity, dried Cortaderia is in demand year-round for bouquets, interior
    styling, and large-scale event decor.
  • High Visual Impact: The plant’s tall, available in white, cream, or pink hues, make it a
    powerful statement piece in both landscaping and floristry.

Care tips

Plant in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, afterwards, it becomes drought-resistant. Cut back old stems in early spring to encourage fresh growth. Avoid overwatering or shade, as it may affect plume production. In floral use, cut plumes at their peak and dry them upside down for long-lasting arrangements.
