Pampas grass is very fast growing. In one gardening season, the inflorescences of an adult plant reach a height of a good three meters. The ornamental grass needs a lot of space and plenty of nutrients. The planting distance from other plants therefore plays an important role.
What planting distance should you keep for pampas grass?
For an optimal planting distance of pampas grass, 1.00 to 1.20 meters should be maintained between the individual plants. This ensures a sufficient supply of nutrients and the development of the decorative inflorescences.
Maintain sufficient planting distance
So that the pampas grass can spread well and develop the decorative inflorescences, maintain a planting distance of 1.00 to 1.20 meters. Otherwise, the ornamental grass will crowd out smaller plants or not receive enough nutrients itself.
Even if you want to create a privacy screen made of pampas grass, you should leave a meter of space between the ornamental grasses.
However, pampas grass looks best when you plant it individually, for example as an eye-catcher on a large lawn.
Tip
The best time to plant pampas grass is spring after the Ice Saints. Then the non-toxic ornamental grass has plenty of time to settle in properly at the location.
