Additional Product Info

What zones do pink pampas grass grow in?

Pink pampas grass grows best in warm zones, including zones 7 through 10. This sun-loving grass is particularly useful in hot climates where other perennials are overpowered by heat, such as the south and southwestern United States. You can use our zone finder tool to find out the best place to grow pink pampas grass.

What is the best watering method for pampas grass?

One of the most desirable traits about pink pampas grass? It doesn't need to be watered frequently. In fact, most gardeners won't need to water this grass, once it is established, except in cases of extreme drought. While your pampas grass is settling into its new location in the landscape during its first season, water just once weekly. Provide a good soaking, and water at the base of the plant.

Can pampas grass be grown in a planter?

Despite its impressive size, pink pampas grass can be grown in a pot or planter. Just be sure to choose a container that drains well, with lots of drainage holes, and that is an appropriately large size. A big planter will give your pampas grass room to spread, and won't tip over once the grass becomes tall. Fill your planter with light, well-draining soil, and be sure to place it in a full-sun location. Pink pampas grass spreads quickly, so you will need to divide pampas grass grown in a container every season.

When is pampas grass in season?

Pink pampas grass stands tall and lovely all year-round, but its trademark fluffy pink plumes appear in late summer. These plumes last through the end of the season, and can be left on the plant through winter to add texture and drama to your patio area or garden.

Other Notes:

We aim for your order to be in your hands at the ideal time to plant, every time. Our growers must anticipate their supply based on the season they expect. Our experts predict weather patterns as best they can to set suitable shipping windows for each growing zone. However, as any gardener knows, nature is not so predictable. The type of product you order, along with the weather in your area or ours, may affect the anticipated shipping schedule.

Based on the contents of your order, we always strive to ship the order complete and as early as possible. However, sometimes this may result in a delay of some items that are ready before others.

If you would like to receive part of your order ahead of time, please reach out to our customer service department and we can accommodate. Orders with large items may be shipped in more than one package. There is no extra charge if your order requires more than one package.
