Cortaderia sell. Ice Cool

Cortaderia sell. Ice Cool is a striking pampas grass valued for its gleaming white plumes held above dense clumps of arching, sharp-edged green leaves from late summer into autumn. Give it full sun and a free‑draining, moderately fertile soil for the best flower display. It brings strong architectural impact to sunny borders and open sites, and once established it copes well with dry summer conditions. Maintenance is minimal: remove spent plumes and tidy old foliage in late winter or early spring; always handle with stout gloves as the leaf margins are sharp.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
