Cortaderia 'Rosea', a pink pampas grass, is a large perennial grass offering summer, fall, and winter interest. One of the most popular of the ornamental grasses, the plant forms dense clumps of fountaining green foliage. Silky blush pink plumes rise dramatically above the foliage from late summer to late fall, creating a flamboyant focal point. Plumes can be cut young for fresh or dried arrangements.
Cortaderia 'Rosea' Pink Pampas Grass is a spectacular, highly versatile grass. It has a mounding habit and a fast growth rate. Planted in groups, it quickly creates a highly textural garden screen, and it's a great option for controlling erosion.
A low maintenance plant, highly versatile grows and flowers best in full sun and dry to medium moisture, well-drained soil but tolerates almost all soil conditions, including sandy, neutral, acid, and alkaline and tolerates drought once established. It naturalizes easily and resists deer. The narrow leaves are finely serrated and can be razor sharp. Gloves are recommended when handling.
