Cortaderia
selloana Pink Seeds
Common name: Pink Pampas Grass
Species: Cortaderia selloana
Cultivar: Pink
Hardiness Zones: 3-5
Scarification/Stratification: No
Germination:
germinating mix; press the seeds into the surface only. It may be helpful to
mix the seed with a very fine sand to make it easier to sow. Water from the
bottom so that the seed will not be washed away. Sow the Pampas seeds in flats,
cover the flats with plastic to increase humidity and keep them at 70-74° F.
Maintain an even level of moisture. It is a good idea to start them in pots.
The plants can be transplanted when they reach 3 in tall. If you start later
than spring, you will need to keep the plant inside for the first winter to
protect them from frost. Germination should occur in 10-20 days, but it may
take longer. Be patient!
you desire a 2 – 3-foot clump, use 100 seeds in a 2 ft diameter area when
planting. From seed, it will take 2 or 3 years to bloom, but your patience is
richly repaid by long-lived garden performance!
Description:
Cortaderia Selloana is also called ‘Feather Pink’ or Pampa
grass and belongs to the Poaceae/Gramineae (grass Family). This is a tall grass
native to southern South America, including the pampas after which it is named,
and Patagonia. Dusty-Pink Feathers of Late-Summer Color! Unsurpassed for
glorious texture and color in the landscape, this pink Pampas Grass is the star
of any garden it graces! This is one of the largest varieties currently
available and is perfect for a medium or a large garden. One of the most
popular of all ornamental grasses, pampas grass forms large dense clumps of
stiff, flat, narrow leaves. This variety has silky pink plumes that can add
flair to dried arrangements. The sturdy, fresh-green bloom stalks reach
anywhere from 6 to 12 feet tall, capped by enormous “feather dusters”
of brilliant rosy, pink! This ornamental grass blooms in late summer, just when
the garden needs a little new color, and lasts for months. Outstanding for
fresh arrangements, the blooms are also wonderful if left to mature on the
plant, becoming a rich golden tan with the advent of cool weather. They are
also a mainstay of dried arrangements, offering superb vertical accent for any
setting from a tall urn in the hallway to a wall display. Hardiness zones: 3-10
(-37c/-35f, 1c/35f) Treat them as tender perennial in zones 3-5, and as hardy
in zones 6-10. The Pampas grasses are beautiful plants that require minimal
care. They grow best in full sun and prefer well-drained soil that is
consistently moist. Instead of cutting back the foliage in the fall, wait until
the following spring. It will act as its own protective mulch through the
winter months. The plant will resist momentary dryness, with the wind and cold
(up to -20°C), but the cold mixed with moisture can be fatal for this plant. Be
very careful and wear gloves and long sleeves when handling this grass. It has
very sharp edges!
