Pampas Plume Shimmering Leaves and a Dramatic Floral Display Pampas plume is the most beautiful of ornamental grasses. It forms clumps of graceful, arching leaves that look like a fountain of streamers. They heighten their decorative appeal with silken flower plumes on long, strong stems. These can be left on the plant to remain decorative all through summer and fall, or they can be cut to make exotic flower arrangements. In florist shops these often sell for $5.00 each! Your own plant can produce up to fifty plumes each season. Stunning as a lawn highlight, in borders, beside a swimming pool or patio. Quickly grows to 6 feet high, to make a good screening hedge and edging to a driveway. Thrives even in poor soils.
