Pampas gras<wbr><\/wbr>ses are found on grassy plains (pampas) of the southern hemisphere.<br>\nIn the UK and Ireland it is mainly the female plants of <em>Cortaderia selloana<\/em> that are offered for sale, because the female plumes are larger and whiter than those of the male specimens.<br>\nPampas grass tolerate sun and (sea) wind well and are also not picky about soil. They prefer moist, well-drained soil. Being native to arid regions, pampas grass is sensitive to excess water in winter. Tying up the tussock prevents rainwater from seeping into the heart of the plant and causing root rot.<br>\nAfter winter, in early spring before the plant sprouts, prune back pampas grass to the tussock: 20 to 30 cm above the ground. Fertilize regularly (spring).<\/p>\n<p>In Australia, pampas grass is considered an invasive pest that threatens native Australian plant species and poses a huge fire risk. It is illegal to sell pampas grass in parts of New South Wales that include greater Sydney and the Hunter region.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Bugs&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532164328547{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Does not apply.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532102781238{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&rdquo;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Fungi &amp; diseases&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1537885449118{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]Stems and culms weaken, soften and bend over: excess moisture causes root rot or mildew.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532102799994{background-color: #ffffff !important;}&rdquo;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Other&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1532164377225{background-color: #585858 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo;]The pampas grass does not flower: to bloom, the pampas grass needs a lot of heat.
