Pampas Grass

"Most people are familiar with the large clumps of lush, grass-like foliage and creamy white feathery plumes of pampas grass. Pampas grass (Cortaderia) is an attractive ornamental grass that is popular in many landscapes. While they’re extremely easy to grow, however, it’s important to know what you’re getting into before planting pampas grass around the home. Don’t be so quick to plant it simply because it looks good. It’s actually a very fast grower and can become quite large, anywhere from 5 and 10 feet (1.5-3 m.) high and wide, and even invasive." (From Gardening Know How website).

I found this lovely Pampas Grass in Jake Kuredjian County Park in Stevenson Ranch.

I personally would have loved to grow some in my yard, but the fact that it is invasive and can grow to 10 feet tall, turned me off to them.

They are beautiful though.

So nice and fluffy and they act like feathers, when the wind blows.
