Hardy Pampas Grass is a tall warm-season grass that grows in tight clumps with long arching green leaves that turns bronze in fall. Dramatic upright canes holding silky white flower plums create fluffy tufts above the leaves in fall and hold its color into winter. Prefers full sun and dry soils. Good drought tolerance.
