{"title":"Cortaderia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecentral prairie region of Argentina\u003c\/strong\u003e is called the \u003cstrong\u003epampas region\u003c\/strong\u003e and one of the primary plants of this area is Cortaderia, aka \u003cstrong\u003epampas grass\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 25 species in the genus Cortaderia can also be found elsewhere in South America as well as in New Zealand and New Guinea.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe genus name Cortaderia is derived from the Spanish word \"corta\", meaning \"cut\". This term refers to the leaves which have finely serrated edges that can easily cut through human skin. Cortaderia species (especially C. selloana) have an attractive arching habit and tall feathery flower heads. They have been widely used throughout the US for many years, but the cultivated cortaderia selections do not fully explore the full beauty of the genus . We strive to introduce gardeners to some of the colorful alternative cortaderia species that exist. Most of you may be familiar with the feathery white plumes that top the common pampas grasses, but we have found other tremendously attractive colors such as tan, brown, and pink pampas grass flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLike most prairie plants, cortaderia prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It is salt- and drought-tolerant once established and the sharp leaves deter deer. The only maintenance required is removing the dead flower heads and leaves once each year. Cortaderia is a large plant and needs a large spot in the garden. It pairs well with other substantial plants such as shrubs and small trees.

The dense clump of glaucous foliage is topped, starting for us in early August, with nearly 100 elegant golden plumes to 7' tall. While Cortaderia 'Blue Bayou' is quite dense and compact, compared to other seed-grown pampas grass selections, it is not a small plant, forming a 10' wide clump, so allow enough room when siting it in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39536672604247,"sku":"12335","price":22.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Cortaderia-selloana-Blue-Bayou-PP-25937.i-12335.s-66617.r-1_8f725b8d-33f4-4565-ab21-628b78455a74.jpg?v=1791484764"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/collections\/Cortaderia-selloana-Blue-Bayou-1900x350.jpg?v=1682976042","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/collections\/hardy-pampas-grass-cortaderia-white-pink.oembed","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
