How Fast does Pampas Grass (Beach Grass) Grow?




Does it grow fast from seed, should I buy small plants or full grown? - Rationale is I don;t need it for this year's pool season (OVER in 4 weeks!), but would be nice to have growing next year! Any tips on how to care for pampas grass, too?

I think Pampas grass is beautiful! Especially when they come in all the different colors of plumes! Im planting some from seeds! It all depends on how much room you have. I have 2.8 acres and want invasive plants to be a barrier to the very busy road in from of my house and on the side! That is exactly why i got them! But if you are in a sub-division i can see that would be different!
I wish I would of read this a week ago. Just planted the pompas grass for our back yard by a road and sidewalk because we are getting a pool. It's about 6 ft away from the sidewalk. My question is how fast does the grass grow in a season from a 2 ft tall plant? I'm getting nervous...
