I recently purchased this plant w/plumage ....planted it in a huge planter on right side of my garage door and placed two uplights (spotlights) on the fronds... Absolutely stunning!!! Great focal point in what used to be a dark and unbecoming area of my driveway.

This is THE cold, hardy pampas grass for northern climates. Grown for at least 3 years in Zone 5. Same wonderful full plumes (you won't find this type of plume on a Miscanthus). Not as towering in the landscape as the standard Pampas Grass as it stays a charming 5' tall.

I live near Navasota, Tx in zone 8b in the Blackland Prarie (black gumbo clay). I planted Ivory Feathers around my A/C last summer and they are beautiful! I love the plumes and they stayed green all winter long, even though we had ice. The leaves are sharp, but no problem if I wear gloves and long sleeves.

I love the look of this grass and the fact that this is a dwarf version. But I heard on a PBS gardening show that it is sharp and requires long sleeves and gloves to trim!!!! Please tell me this isn't so! I guess I won't be able to use it.
