Cortaderia selloana ‘Rosea’
Pink Pampas Grass |
USDA Zone: 8-9 |
Plant number: 8.110.110
A striking grass that forms a huge clump of lush green, grass-like foliage with a fountain-like habit. The foliage can be sharp so use gloves and protective clothing when cleaning up in spring. More difficult to find than the white form but worth it is you find it. From late summer through late fall, it is topped with huge, fluffy plumes that are blushed pink. Excellent planted as a privacy screen and for drying. Fast growing but may take up to three years to reach maturity.
