Cortaderia selloana
Uruguayan Pampas Grass - Cortaderia selloana.
An exceptionally ornamental, perennial, evergreen herb.
Under good growing conditions, it reaches a height of 2-3 m, towering monumentally above the rest of the plants in the garden.
The leaves are mostly basal, linear, wide, gray-green.
Very beautiful, thanks to large silky panicles, consisting of small spikelets, which makes the inflorescences appear silvery-white or pinkish. Inflorescences are not afraid of either cold or snow, decorating the garden from the end to the beginning of the season.
They are used in group plantings, you can decorate the lawn, the edge, the open terrace, the shore of the reservoir. Inflorescences are widely used for cutting and fresh or dried.
AGRICULTURE.
Requires well-cultivated and relatively fertile soils, thermophilic, drought-resistant, needs bright lighting. Seeds are sown in early spring. In areas with a cool climate, you need to shelter for the winter.
It grows rapidly into entire plantations, so be sure to remove old yellowed leaves every year, as they clog the center of the curtain. At the same time, it is better not to touch the beautiful flower stalks of pampas grass at the beginning of the growing season.
