How To Grow Pampas Grass From Seed

Pampas grass, like most ornamental grasses, is almost completely trouble free once established. There's never much of  a need to spray for insects or any other bothersome garden pest as they don't tend to bother Pampas grass.

​

Pampas grass is very easy to grow from seed by sticking to a few simple guidelines:

Seed Depth: These are small seeds which should be mixed with fine sand to enable an even and consistent sowing.

​

Try not to cover the seeds with compost instead just press the seeds very gently into the growing media.

​

Growing media should contain organic material and still have reasonably good drainage.

Average Germination Time is normally 1 to 2 weeks although they can sprout earlier or later depending on the conditions.

​

Seeds require sunlight to germinate but artificial lights and other growing aides can be used.

Try to keep seeds moist (but not wet) until germination occurs with the use of a mist spray bottle.

For best results particularly in cooler climates we recommend starting your seeds in a propagator or green house. They can also be started on a sunny window sill and just as long as the frost cant get to them then they will be just fine.

​

Once established they look after themselves and do make one of the very best ornamentals there is.
