Japanese pampas grass is a tall, perennial grass native to East Asia. It can grow up to 10 feet high and features feathery, silvery plumes that appear in late summer and fall. This grass thrives in sunny areas and is often found in fields, along roadsides, and in gardens. The plant is known for its ornamental value and is commonly used in landscaping. Japanese pampas grass is also resilient, tolerating various soil types and drought conditions. However, it can become invasive in some regions, so careful management is necessary to prevent it from spreading uncontrollably.
