Origin
Cortaderia selloana 'Mini Silverpampas' is a variety of the pampas grasses and originates from South America. It is predominantly found in Argentina and Brazil, but due to its aesthetic value, it can be found globally in gardens and parks.

Characteristics
The 'Mini Silverpampas' is an ornamental grass that stands out for its slim, silver-coloured plumes that rise high above the narrow, green leaves. It can reach a height of 90 to 150 cm and blooms from August to October. Although the grass appears sturdy, it is flexible enough to sway with the wind, adding a dynamic element to the garden.

Care
Caring for the Cortaderia selloana 'Mini Silverpampas' is relatively simple. The plant requires a sunny location and well-draining soil. During dry periods, regular watering is needed, but it is important that the soil somewhat dries out between waterings. In the winter, the plant can tolerate frost and trimming or thinning of the plant is often not necessary, unless the plant becomes too large. Older, non-flowering tufts can be removed to stimulate the growth of new tufts.
