Pampas grass is one of the most iconic and on-trend botanicals in modern floral design. With its large, feathery plumes and natural, bohemian beauty, it makes a dramatic statement in any arrangement, installation, or home decor setting. Long-lasting and low maintenance, pampas grass is a wonderful choice for anyone who wants lasting beauty with minimal upkeep.

What to Expect

Pampas grass is a dried botanical and arrives ready to use. The plumes may arrive slightly compressed from packaging but will open up and fluff out beautifully once given a little space and air. Some shedding of fibers is completely normal, especially when first handled.

Care Instructions

1. Keep in a dry environment. Display away from humidity, steam, and moisture. Avoid bathrooms, areas near kitchen sinks, or anywhere with high humidity.
2. Avoid direct sunlight. Prolonged sun exposure will cause the plumes to fade and become brittle more quickly. A bright spot with indirect light is ideal.
3. Handle gently. Pampas grass plumes can shed if handled too roughly. Handle with care and place it somewhere it won't be knocked or bumped.
4. Dust occasionally. Use a gentle puff of air or a hair dryer on the lowest cool setting to remove dust without damaging the plumes.

Pro Tips

• Fluff the plumes: To get the fullest, most beautiful plumes, gently shake the stems or use a hair dryer on the lowest cool setting to help the fibers separate and open up.
• Shedding is normal: Pampas grass naturally sheds some fibers, especially when first handled. Place a cloth underneath when arranging to catch any fallout.
• Spray with hairspray to reduce shedding: A very light mist of hairspray over the plumes can help reduce shedding. Hold the can at least 12 inches away and use a light touch.

How Long Will It Last?

With proper care, pampas grass can last for months to years. Keeping it dry and away from direct sunlight is the key to preserving its beautiful, fluffy plumes for as long as possible.
