White pampas grass looks very noble
Setting accents with pampas grass in several colors
Pampas grass impresses not only by the height and width, which reaches the shrub with good care. The wedge-shaped flowers are available in various pastel shades, so that decorative accents can be set in any garden.
The color palette of pampas grass flowers
The flowers are fronds, which provide the eye-catcher in the garden during the flowering period from July to November. Depending on the variety, they are available in the following colors:
The colors of the leaves
The leaves of pampas grass are also available in different colors. They may have a light, medium and dark green color, but also be silvery-gray, green-gray or blue-gray. Varieties with pale yellow striped leaves are also available.
Set accents with different colors
Pampas grass is popular because of its spread, especially in larger gardens. At the edge of a garden pond, the ornamental grass makes as much as a single plant in the flowerbed.
It can be wonderfully combined with other plants that are also very alert. Well suited are other ornamental grasses that do not grow that tall. Leave enough space so that pampas grass does not crush other plants.
The delicate flower colors stand out particularly well against a green background. Plant different varieties in front of a row of trees, for example in front of a green hedge made of fir or beech.
Pampas grass as a cut flower
Not only in the garden or in the bucket on the balcony makes pampas grass a good figure. The flowering fronds can also be cultivated as a cut flower in the vase.
They harmonize very well with flowers in very strong colors. It is best to use a floor vase for the pampas grass flowers. The flowers last longer if you set the vase a bit cooler, for example in a cool entrance area
The fronds can also be dried. Involved in dry bouquets or as a flower arrangement they delight with their delicate colors for many months.
Tips
Pampas grass is very good as a visual screen in the summer. The ornamental grass grows very fast and grows between two and three meters high. In winter, the fronds are tied together and act as an eye-catcher.
