White Pampas Grass (Cortaderia selloana) is a striking ornamental grass prized for its tall, fountain-like foliage and large, feathery white plumes that appear in late summer and persist into fall. This fast-growing perennial adds vertical interest and graceful movement to landscapes, making it a popular choice for privacy screens, focal points, and windbreaks. Exceptionally hardy and low-maintenance, White Pampas Grass is both drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, thriving in sunny locations with minimal care.
