Plant details
Previously known as 'Gold Band', this attractive pampas grass has variegated leaves which are margined with golden yellow. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM) in recognition of its outstanding excellence. Plants are best tidied annually to keep them free from debris which otherwise builds up and chokes out new growth. Wear gloves when handling the plant as the leaves have sharp edges. In late winter, comb through the plant and cut out the old leaves and stems. Some gardeners set fire to their plants to remove this dead material but care needs to be taken as this can get out of control and damage the plant. The plumes can be cut and dried for flower arranging, but are superb left in the garden where they look lovely rimed with frost in the winter.
