As someone who’s always been inspired by their environment, I love to have reminders of my prairies roots in my home. Where I grew up, wheat, bohemian grasses and natural textures run wild — and you’ll also find them at play in our inner city apartment. These free-spirited textures had always had a place in my heart, which is why I think I was so drawn to Pampas Grass!
Cortaderia Selloana, C. Selloana
“There are approximately 25 species of Cortaderia Selloana, although the C. Selloana variety is commonly referred to as Pampas Grass"
HISTORY
Pampas Grass is native to southern South America, hailing from the Pampas region (hence its name). It was planted in Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand in the 70’s primarily as an ornamental grass to be harvest and used for decorative purposes once dried — and we seen a huge resurgence in it’s popularity over the past couple of years!
