DESCRIPTION:

Pampas grass belongs to the group of ornamental grasses and captivates with its unparalleled size. Reaching a standard growth height of 250–300 cm, it serves as the ultimate eye-catcher in any garden. For this reason, pampas grass should be given a prominent spot in your garden so that its beauty can be fully appreciated. Any location—whether in the front yard as a privacy screen or even as a container plant on the patio—is suitable for pampas grass, provided optimal soil and site conditions are met. Pampas grass is not only easy to care for, but because it spreads quickly, it also provides an ideal privacy shield in the garden. However, in very frosty regions, this ornamental grass requires some protection during winter. Usually, it is entirely sufficient to cover the root area with a thick layer of leaves. Additionally, you should carefully bind the stalks and flower panicles together into a tuft using a soft ribbon.

CULTIVATION:

Sowing should ideally take place in seed trays or small flower pots on a warm windowsill. This is easily possible all year round.
Light germinator! Simply press the seeds lightly onto moist sowing substrate (e.g., seed-starting soil, potting soil, or standard compost). Do not cover the seeds with soil. Keep the soil evenly moist (no waterlogging), and within a very short time, the first shoots will begin to sprout. The germination time is approx. 10 to 20 days at room temperature. Once the plant is large enough, it can either be transplanted or even divided. Furthermore, do not forget to fertilize at this stage so that the pampas grass receives all the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.

Please note:

This is a natural product. Therefore, we generally cannot assume a sprouting or germination guarantee for seeds, as the conditions under which sowing was carried out by the customer cannot be assessed or influenced by us.
