Pampas grass is probably one of the most popular species of ornamental grasses. The species is a perennial, warm-season, evergreen grass which forms dense clumps of foliage, and the leaves have sharp razor-like edges. Leaves are from Â½ to 1 inch in width and can range from 1 to 4 feet in length. Plants (foliage and flowers) achieve a height of 4 to 6 feet with similar width. Flowers occur in August with large panicles 6 to 8 inches wide by up to 2 feet long and persist throughout the winter months.
