Cortaderia Selloana Pumila 3 Litre Pot

Cortaderia selloana 'Pumila', or Dwarf Pampas Grass, is a more compact variety of the classic Pampas Grass, making it perfect for smaller gardens or areas where a full-sized plant would be overwhelming. With its striking feathery plumes and dense, arching foliage, 'Pumila' brings the same beauty and architectural presence as larger Pampas varieties but in a more manageable size.

• Appearance: 'Pumila' features soft, ivory-white plumes atop a mound of green, arching leaves. The plumes appear in late summer and persist through autumn, eventually turning a golden hue as they mature.
• Size: Reaches a height and spread of about 1.2 to 1.5 meters (4-5 feet), making it ideal for medium-sized gardens, borders, and smaller landscapes.
• Form: Clumping and compact, with a rounded, mounded shape that is both manageable and visually appealing.

Thrives in well-draining soil and is tolerant of poorer soils, including sandy and slightly acidic soils. Avoid waterlogged areas, as Pampas Grass prefers dry to moderate moisture levels. Performs best in full sun, which encourages plume production and promotes healthy, vigorous foliage growth. Cut back to ground level in late winter or early spring to remove old foliage and encourage new growth for the coming season. Divide every 3-5 years in spring to control size, promote healthy growth, and propagate new plants.

• Borders and Smaller Gardens: Its compact size is perfect for mixed borders, small gardens, and areas that can’t accommodate larger varieties.
• Containers: 'Pumila' is small enough to thrive in large containers, making it suitable for patios or terraces.
• Ornamental Displays: The feathery plumes add texture and a sense of movement, creating a focal point in garden landscapes.
