Pampas Grass ‘White’ is a dramatic ornamental grass known for its large, feathery white plumes that rise high above a dense fountain of long, arching green foliage. In late summer and fall, tall flowering stems produce silky plumes that sway in the wind and add striking vertical interest to the landscape. The bold texture and impressive size make this grass a popular focal point in large garden beds, naturalized plantings, and modern landscape designs. The plumes are also valued for dried arrangements and winter interest.
