Default Several questions

Last year, I bought two Pampas grass. One, I planted in the ground, the
other in a very large pot. The potted one appears to have died. I expected
it's growth to be restricted, but is being in a pot the likely cause of
it's demise?
Looking for 'interesting' looking plants for large pots. Will Blue Fescue
and Zebra Grass survive in a pot? (sorry, don't know the Latin
names.......I'm a 'common' gardener ) TIA.

Yes grasses do fine in pots, as do most things, but you need to ensure very
good drainage, which is the likely cause of the demise of the Pampas grass.
Please tell me the Pampas is not the pink one--now that is as Common as
muck:-)
