Chrispook's Garden
Cortaderia [Pampas grass]
Genus: Cortaderia.
Species: Cortaderia selloana.
I've got 2 young ones. 1 planted 2006 and 1 in 2007. They both managed 1 flower each last year, but sadly the snow broke them down.
The one in front garden did not survive it's first winter.
The one at back was OK for 2 winters, and in Spring 2009 was showing no sign of life. I decided I did not want such a dead looking clump in the middle of the garden so I moved it to a shadier and more sheltered spot in the side garden. Surprisingly it has gradually produced some growth so I will leave it there to see whether it does better.
