A perennial grass native to the pampas regions of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The plant has a robust and grand stature, typically reaching heights of about 8 to 10 feet, and it is renowned for its large, feathery plumes. These plumes, often white or silver in color, appear during the late summer and persist through the winter. Pampas Grass has found popularity in various parts of the world as an ornamental plant, appreciated for its dramatic appearance and ability to provide structure and movement in garden designs. In some regions, the plant has become invasive. The plant has numerous cultivars, with some varieties bred to be sterile in an attempt to curb its invasive potential. Photographed in Bogotá, Colombia.
