Enjoy fresh green foliage topped by long, thick dusty-purple plumes when you grow Pampas Grass plugs. These elegant ornamental grasses produce "feather duster" plumes from late summer through the fall. The plumes can be cut and dried for indoor use or left on the plant for winter interest. Features: Low Maintenance: Requires no spraying for insects or garden pests. Soil: Grows well in most soils. Fertilization: Responds favorably to frequent fertilization. Use a complete fertilizer (6-6-6, 8-8-8, or 10-10-10) at a rate of two pounds per 100 square feet, four times a year. Pruning: Cut out brown, dead foliage in late winter. The grass blades are sharp, so take care when pruning. Plug Size: 1-2 inch plug currently 3-5 inches tall. Seasonal Note: During winter and early spring, some plant materials may be dormant. Dormant plants have no green top growth but will grow from dormant buds when temperatures are right. This rest period is essential for good flowering performance in the upcoming season. Shipping during summer/winter may be delayed to prevent harm to the plants. Specifications: Mature Height: 6 - 9 ft (including flower panicles) Mature Width: 5 - 8 ft Growth Rate: Moderate Hardiness Zones: 3 - 10 Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
