Cortaderia, Pampas grass,

Cutlery

The cortaderia looks great in the yard or around the summer cottage. However, for some reason, few people grow it. Let's take a closer look at this powerful and at the same time elegant plant. The pampas grass is a perennial plant of the Zitni family, which is able to form large and thick tufts up to 3 m height and width. In the wild, this grass grows in the pampas steppes of South America and is considered a weed. The elongated pointed leaves of the plant hang under the weight of their own weight and thus give the bush a rounded appearance. Pampas grass blooms from August until frost with branching silvery floral racemes, pink or yellow color.
