Pampas grass 'Pumila' | Cortaderia selloana Pumila - Height 140-180cm Width 100-140cm - 10lt

Dwarf Pampas Grass is an evergreen ornamental grass forming a dense, compact clump of narrow, arching leaves with a fine, slightly rough texture. It typically reaches a more modest height than the species, making it well suited to smaller gardens whilst retaining the characteristic upright, fountain-like habit. During late summer and into autumn, tall, sturdy stems rise above the foliage bearing silvery-white, feathery plumes. These flower heads persist well into winter, providing structural interest and movement in the garden long after many other plants have faded. The plumes catch low autumn and winter light effectively, adding a striking silvery glow to borders during the colder months. The dense foliage and persistent flower stems offer shelter for small garden wildlife, whilst the seed heads can provide a food source for birds through the autumn and winter period. Dwarf Pampas Grass is tolerant of coastal conditions, performing well in exposed, windy sites where many other ornamental grasses may struggle. It also adapts readily to a range of soil types, including poorer or free-draining ground, provided it receives full sun. This makes it a versatile choice for exposed borders, gravel gardens, or as a specimen planting where year-round structure is desired.
