Default pampas grass (if you had to have one)

Which Pampas Grass would you recommend for a garden of about an acre and a
half . The owner wants to put it at the back (luckily) of very deep
border.

The new one being pushed by garden Centres is too small but there's
Sunningdale Silver and also Rosea.
I hate the stuff but someone out there might like it enough to have an
opinion.


Wouldn't be able to recommend one, but there was one in my garden in
Staffordshire. I used to leave the fronds on over winter, and was rewarded
each spring by watching the sparrows and finches plundering it to line their
nests. Worth having one for that reason alone, IMHO.
