Pampas Grass

Once considered an excellent choice for its salt tolerance and fast growth, pampas grass has been found by the UF/IFAS Assessment of Non-Native Plants in Florida’s Natural Areas to be invasive and is not recommended for any use.

Instead, consider a native grass like muhly grass, or Fakahatchee.
