Default pampas grass (if you had to have one)

IMO the dwarf variety looks ok as a single specimen and you don't need
massive space to take it. The normal 12 footers really need to be
grown in groups and take up so much space it gets ridiculous.



Yes but the garden this is destined for has huge deep borders about 20
foot to back and full of self sown hazel and ash etc. which is slowly
being cleared. A 12 footer is what is needed to make some sort of
backdrop against the conifer/yew hedges
