I'm looking for a big tall grass that I can plant as a screen between my yard and my neighbors in a couple of places. I love the look of Pampas grass and it's definitely got the height I want so I'm looking for something that would have similar height, and hopefully pretty showy blooms too but not be invasive. Or are there some cultivars of Pampas grass that are sterile? I've heard that the dwarf one isn't quite as problematic as the regular one, but unfortunately it doesn't have the height I'm looking for. It also has to be at least somewhat drought tolerant, most of the other things in my garden don't need a ton of summer water so I don't want something that's going to have hugely different water requirements.
