When to sow pampas grass

Spring is the best time. Sow in small pots or directly in the garden.

Planting depth

The seeds need light: scatter them on the surface of well-draining soil and do not cover them completely.

Germination temperature

Ideally 19–27°C. Germination takes 14–35 days.

Watering

Keep the soil moist but do not overwater. Mature plants are drought-tolerant.

Light and transplanting

It needs full sun. Transplant at 10 cm; in the garden allow 1.5–2 m between plants, as it grows large.
