    ROFL. Very good info in regards to the dangers of messing with them in the fall! I planted a pink pampas grass last summer and it hasnt done much. Granted, I planted it in poor soil and havent fertilized. So, instead of treating it mean, i guess I need to be nicer to it next year. :)

      I ordered the same thing from amazon about two weeks ago. Still waiting. We had one in Florida and it was gorgeous. We planted it a little too close to the house and had to remove it after about five years. We are now in Tennessee where it should do just fine.

    I just bought a batch off the internet, a pink variety. However I’m going to try growing this in New England. Winters are very cold. I’m taking a risk that it may have enough time in spring to start growing. Maybe cover it the first winter. What do you think? Will it grow in cold winter climates?

      This pic is from where I live in Argentina, tge plants on the side are naturally occurring cortaderas. The loose its flower during winter but in summer they recover it easily. I don't know if continuous cold weather may kill them. The soil is pretty rocky. And from autumn to summer they don't receive any rain.

      John Lord's Garden - I’m guessing that the seeds don’t get enough time to mature before a killing frost occurs in autumn. Here in California the species has naturalized and aggressively competes with native flora.

      When somebody gets called a bioterrorist it’s often the precursor to getting shut down and we wouldn’t want that, would we? I’d love to grow it , looks like fun but it’s way too cold for survival, let alone invasiveness.

      @@laurenb6451 where I live everyone is trying (unsuccessfully) to kill it. You have to cut it down to the ground and keep it cut down on a monthly basis for a very long time to actually kill it. If you mow it down to dirt it will just grow back as if nothing had ever happened. And the seeds spread on the wind. It is terrible. And hard to cut and hard to handle because it is very sharp and you will end up with cuts all over your skin.

    That looks really silly ! you could keep it as a visual joke .
    I don't like the Victorian ideology, which is experiencing a trendy revival, of treating the native environment
    as unimportant and drowning it in scale and quantity with flora from entirely opposite climates, landscapes and qualities of the light etc .
    As a principle , I think these things if used at all , need to kept to the minimum , and only used where the plants themselves have an actively harmonious function in an environmental context .
    I think pampas is a good case in point, ditto banana trees and other totally alien species, which just look ridiculous, hideous blots in the native environment which is CHARACTERISTICALLY GRACEFUL and SUBTLE !
    Things which are characteristically, the opposite : out-sized, clumsy and gross ! need to be in their own environment to be appreciated .
    Rather than mocking and destroying , our own , and rendering the plant world, as the city world : one of identical cloning .......shun all things trendy is a good motto IMO .
