Pampas grass is completely non-toxic
Pampas grass is not poisonous but nevertheless not dangerous
Parents of small children and pet owners often worry about the toxicity of plants in the garden. You can plant pampas grass without worries. The grass contains no toxins. But it is not completely harmless.
Pampas grass is not poisonous but sharp
Pampas grass contains no toxic substances, so there is no danger of poisoning children or pets.
However, pampas grass is not necessarily suitable for any garden. This is not only due to the size that the perennial reaches over time.
The leaves of pampas grass are razor-sharp and can leave small cuts even when touching bare skin. Some varieties have small barbs that can also cause injury. This should be taken into account when choosing a location.
Tips
Some cats seem to have a penchant for nibbling on the leaves of pampas grass. It does not hurt them directly, but it sometimes happens that the very hard grass gets stuck in the throat and must be removed by the veterinarian.
