Cortaderia selloana 'Gold Band' (Gold Band Pampas Grass) - A slow growing, compact evergreen plant growing to a height of 6 ft. The thin rough-textured green leaves have narrow bands of yellow along the margins. As with the other Cortaderias, 'Gold Band' is tolerant of both heat and cold. It grows best in well-draining, fertile soil with regular watering. It will grow slower in poor, dry soils. It makes a stunning accent plant. Although we have never had seedlings of this plant appear in our garden and this cultivar has not been identified as a weed pest, there is growing concern about the planting of any Pampas Grass and we have discontinued production of all cultivars of it. Care should be exercised when planting any Cortaderia cultivar in locations where seed may spread into sensitive habitat.
The information about Cortaderia selloana 'Gold Band' displayed on this page is based on research conducted in our nursery library and from online sources we consider reliable. We will also relate those observations made of this plant as it grows in our nursery gardens and in other gardens that we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has additional information, particularly when they share cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
