Cortaderia (Pampas Grass)

Cortaderia is a late flowering beauty. It adds colour and form to the garden from September to February, with its striking feathery plumes held high above a dense clump of foliage.  These may look similar to other ornamental grasses but they are much larger.  The grassy foliage is coarse and forms a dense clump from which the flower spikes begin to form in midsummer on a mature plant. The plumes eventually open completely when the stems are almost fully extended and range in colour from silvery white, buff and through to various shades of pink.  The plants look particularly striking in the winter sunshine!

This is an ornamental grass that is a hardy evergreen plant. It can make a good barrier plant to deter unwelcome visitors in the garden and grows very well in coastal regions as it can tolerate windy conditions.  Also, it makes a fine specimum plant particularly when its silky flower plumes stand out against a dark background.  These are tough plants and will grow well in most situations and can be planted in herbaceous and shrub borders or as a specimen plant in the lawn.

Plant out in any well drained fertile garden soil that is not frozen or waterlogged, in full sun.  Water thoroughly before and after planting and regularly especially in dry conditions until established.  Remove any dead foliage in spring (gloves will be needed  for this). A mature plant (2-3 years) can be increased by division and replanted in April.  For potting on use any good multi purpose compost.

Festuca Glauca (Blue Grass)

This is a very attractive ornamental perennial evergreen grass plant. It forms dense tufts of erect blue-green foliage, the blue becoming more intense as the plant grows. Spikelets of violet blue/green flowers are borne in early summer.  It can be grown as edging in a border, rockery, planted in groups for maxmiumum effect and can also be grown in containers on the patio and mixed with other plants for added interest and colour all year round!

Plant out 30cm apart in any well drained garden soil that is not frozen or waterlogged, in full/part sun.  Water thoroughly before and after planting and regularly especially in dry conditions until established.

• All our plug plants are sent out without their containers as they travel better this way.  They are watered before being removed from their containers and  packed in cling film/bubble wrap to keep moisture in and placed in boxes with added paper for extra protection so as to arrive in the condition they were sent out.  Where possible we also try to recycle packaging.
