The color palette of pampas grass flowers
The flowers are fronds, which are eye-catchers in the garden during the flowering period from July to November. Depending on the variety, they are available in the following colors:
- White
- silver white
- off-white
- beige
- soft pink
- pink
The colors of the leaves
The leaves of the pampas grass also come in different colors. They can be light, medium and dark green in colour, but can also be silvery grey, green-grey or blue-grey in colour. Varieties with light yellow striped leaves are also available.
Set accents with different colors
Pampas grass is very popular because of its spread, especially in larger gardens. At the edge of a garden pond, the ornamental grass looks just as impressive as as a single perennial in the flower bed.
It can be wonderfully combined with other plants that are also tall. Other ornamental grasses that do not grow as high are well suited. Leave enough space so that the pampas grass does not overwhelm other plants.
The delicate flower colors are particularly effective against a green background. Plant different varieties in front of a row of trees, for example in front of a green fir or beech hedge.
Pampas grass as a cut flower
Pampas grass cuts a fine figure not only in the garden or in the bucket on the balcony. The blossomed fronds can also be cultivated as cut flowers in the vase.
They harmonize particularly well with flowers in very strong colours. It is best to use a floor vase for the pampas grass flowers. The flowers last longer if you place the vase a little cooler, for example in a cool entrance area
The fronds can also be dried. Integrated into drying bouquets or as a flower arrangement, they will delight you with their delicate colors for many months.
tips
Pampas grass is very suitable as a privacy screen in summer. The ornamental grass grows very quickly and is between two and three meters high. In winter, the fronds are tied together and act as an eye-catcher.
