Purple pampas grass
Cortaderia jubata
Purple pampas grass is a dramatic ornamental grass that thrives in well-draining soil with minimal care once established. Water regularly during the first growing season, then reduce watering as it becomes drought tolerant. Trim back in late winter to promote fresh growth and maintain its striking plume display.
