Author Message   Charlieann  Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 06:33 pm EST :    I planted pampas grass last year and it did good. But so far this year it hasn't done a thing. I cut it way back to the ground as I read somewhere you were suppose to do but I am wondering if it will come back.

You might succeed if you gave it a lot of winter protection, otherwise treat it as an annual.

Pampas is just too tender. Fritillary Florida Zone 9B   Venusxmantrap  My Weather Posted on Sunday, July 23, 2006 - 07:00 pm EST :    Does pampas grass grow well in texas?

Mine is very hardy and we cut her back to the grown every Spring and look at her now. And the birds so love to swing on her.

It should do fine for you. www.perennialandrosegardening.net Learntogarden - LA, Zone "8A"   Lovincountry  My Weather Posted on Friday, April 11, 2008 - 03:55 pm EST :    CharlieAnn, I am also in Zone 5 and after a couple of attemps to grow pampas I was told that is was nothing but an annual in this zone. They told me to try Reed Grass and it is just as beautiful and has done wonderful! It will get up to 10' tall. Lovincountry - Kansas, Zone "5"
