Design ideas with pampas grass – benefits of Cortaderia selloana
Pampas grass, known by the botanical name Cortaderia selloana, is native to South America. It grows very quickly, so it is suitable for large gardens or balconies. It can provide privacy on a roof terrace or balcony. Its white flowers look especially exotic in summer. Pampas grass is durable, needs little care and water, and attracts birds, insects and other small wildlife. It is also inexpensive. All these advantages allow many design ideas with pampas grass, depending on the available space and the specific conditions in your garden.
Disadvantages of pampas grass: pampas has a few drawbacks that should not be underestimated. It is highly flammable, so it should not be planted close to the house, buildings or other structures. It can also be invasive, so avoid planting it too close to meadows or areas where it may spread. If the grass is cut before seeds mature, spread can be reduced. The ends of pampas grass are strong and sharp, so avoid planting it directly against exterior walls where it may scratch the surface.
Design ideas for your own garden with pampas grass
Before considering pampas grass design ideas, choose the right location. The grass needs dry soil and plenty of free space; plan for an area of at least 3 by 3 meters. It grows tall and wide, so the end of a driveway is not suitable. Planting is simple: dig a hole three times larger than the plant’s root ball. Set the plant in place, water the roots and cover them with soil.
