Pampas Grass – When and How to Use the Pampas Grass in Your Garden
There are a limited number of ornamental plants which are so spectacular in their appearance, that they can really transform a garden from being ordinary to being special. One of these is the Pampas grass, Cortaderia sellowiana, from Argentina. The danger comes from the leaves of the Pampas grass. They are serrated along the edge, general hydroponics nutrients making them as sharp as a carpenter’s saw. In fact the plant’s botanical name, Cortaderia, originates from the Spanish word cortar, “to cut”. For this reason Pampas grass should never be planted where children are likely to run about and play, nor close to paths and entrance ways.
