What Are the Different Types of Pampas Grass ?

There are 25 different varieties of pampas grass within the Cortaderia selloana species. Among the most common are Gold Band, which has white plumes, and Pink Feather, a pink pampas grass with rose-colored blooms.

There is also a dwarf pampas grass (Cortaderia selloana pumila) and two pampas grass plants that are not in the selloana species : Cortaderia jubata, also known as Andean or purple pampas grass, and Saccharum ravennae, or hardy pampas grass.

Cortaderia selloana ‘Pumila’ : Also known as dwarf pampas grass, this cultivator can be found with plumes that range from pale yellow to ivory. Because it is a compact variety, it grows up to five feet tall. This makes it a great choice for containers.
Cortaderia selloana ‘Sunningdale Silver’ : As suggested by its name, this variety sports silver plumes. They grow up to 10 feet tall and are not as prone to clumping.
Cortaderia selloana ‘Rendatleri’ : This “pink feather” cultivator is famous for its stunningly pink plumes and grows up to eight feet tall.
