Pampas grass is impressive not only because of the height and width that the perennial reaches with good care. The frond-shaped flowers are available in various pastel shades, so they can be used to create decorative accents in any garden.

The leaves of the decorative pampas grass are also available in different colors. They can be light, medium and dark green in color, but can also be silvery-gray, green-gray or blue-gray in color. Varieties with light yellow striped leaves are also available.
Set accents with different colors
Pampas grass is particularly popular in larger gardens because of its spread. The ornamental grass looks just as impressive on the edge of a garden pond as it does as a single perennial in a flower bed.
It can be wonderfully combined with other tall-growing plants. Other ornamental grasses that don't grow as tall are well suited. But leave enough space so that the pampas grass does not crush other plants.
The delicate flower colors look particularly good against a green background. Plant different types of pampas grass seeds 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
Pampas grass not only looks good in the garden or in the pot or as a privacy screen on the balcony. The blossomed fronds can also be cared for as cut flowers in a vase.
They harmonize particularly well with flowers in very strong colors. It is best to use a floor vase for the pampas grass flowers. The flowers will last longer if you place the vase a little cooler, for example in a cool entrance area.
The fronds can also be dried. Integrated into dried bouquets, as a flower arrangement or wreath, they will delight you with their delicate colors for many months.
Tip
Pampas grass is very suitable as a privacy screen in summer. The ornamental grass grows very quickly and is between two and three meters high. In winter the fronds are tied together and also act as an eye-catcher.
