Description
Cortaderia selloana ‘Pumila,’ commonly known as Dwarf Pampas Grass, is a compact and ornamental grass prized for its graceful, arching foliage and striking plumes. Native to South America, this cultivar is a dwarf form of the classic pampas grass, growing to a more manageable height of about 3 to 5 feet, making it suitable for smaller gardens and landscapes. Its silvery-green leaves create a soft, billowy effect, while the feathery, cream-colored flower plumes emerge in late summer to fall, providing year-round visual interest and texture. Dwarf Pampas Grass is valued for its drought tolerance, low maintenance, and ability to thrive in a variety of soil types and climates, offering an elegant, naturalistic accent in borders, screens, or mass plantings. This cultivar’s compact size and refined appearance have earned it recognition among landscape professionals and garden enthusiasts as a versatile and attractive ornamental grass.
