It forms dense clumps of arching, overhanging leaves. The fluffy and abundant inflorescences usually appear after three years of cultivation. The plumes are white and reach about 40 cm in length. The pampas grass White Plume blooms from July until late autumn. It prefers sunny, warm locations sheltered from strong and cold winds. This variety needs plenty of space. It does not tolerate waterlogging — in such conditions it begins to rot and eventually dies. The soil should be fertile, well‑drained, and moist. The grass is sensitive to frost, so it should be protected for winter. When grown in containers, it should be moved for winter into a cool, bright place, such as a garden shed, cellar, or terrace. In spring, it should be cut back low to the ground.
