Cortaderia selloana or Pampas grass against a brilliant blue sky


Cortaderia selloana, commonly known as Pampas Grass, is a tall grass native to southern South America, including the pampas after which it is named, and Patagonia. Pampas Grass is a tall grass, growing in dense tussocks that can reach a height of 3 m ( ft) . The leaves are evergreen, long and slender, 1–2 m ( to ft) long and 1 cm broad, and have very sharp edges (so they should be handled with care). The leaves are usually bluish-green, but can be silvery grey. The flowers are produced in a dense white panicle 20–40 cm ( - inches) long on a 2–3 m ( - ft) tall stem.
