Notes
'Patagonia' uruguayan pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana 'Patagonia') is a grass for cut flowers and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows at a rapid rate and forms an arching clump that tolerates drought and salt.
Pairs well with Lemongrass, Purple sage, and Century plant.
