How to Care for the Plant
Water
Once established, pampas grass care is minimal, requiring little maintenance other than watering in extreme drought. It should also be pruned each year to the ground.
Pruning
It should also be pruned each year to the ground. This is usually performed in late winter or early spring. Due to the plant’s sharp foliage, the task of pruning should be done with great care using gloves and a long-sleeved shirt. Pampas grass is usually propagated through division in spring. Pruned clumps can be sliced through with a shovel and replanted elsewhere. Normally, only female plants are propagated. Pampas grass bears male and female plumes on separate plants, with females being the most common among varieties grown. They are much showier then their male counterparts with fuller plumes (flowers) of silk-like hairs, of which the males do not have.
Fertilizer
While not required, pampas grass can be given a balanced fertilizer following pruning to help stimulate regrowth.
Sunlight
Pampas grass enjoys areas with full sun but will tolerate partial shade.
Soil
Although pink pampas grass prefers rich, well-drained soil, it is a durable plant that adapts to nearly any type of soil. The range of less than optimum soils tolerated by this grass includes silty soil, infertile chalky soil and hard, clay soil as well as fast-draining sandy soil.
Temperature
Another plus side to growing pampas grass is its tolerance of drought, wind, and salt sprays.
