About this plant

Evita pampas grass forms a compact fountain of narrow leaves topped by creamy plumes in late summer.

The foliage builds a dense clump that regrows outward each season, with flowering stems rising above it in season.

Best used for

Use as a sunny border focal point with space for its arching foliage.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 30–50 cm per year Fast growth
Expected mature size 1–1.5 m high / 0.8–1.2 m wide

Expect around 30–50 cm of seasonal spread or fresh growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 1–1.5 m in height and 0.8–1.2 m in width. Allow room for a dense clump that regrows outward each season; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in a sunny spot with good drainage, especially in winter. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. A light compost dressing once each spring is sufficient; avoid heavy feeding. Leave plumes for winter interest and cut back old foliage in spring, wearing gloves for the sharp leaves.
