I bought what I thought was Pompas Grass. But, it started getting these
fern-like growths. What I want is those big beautiful blooms - but I don't
think it's going to happen with this plant. Let me know if anyone has any
experience with this kind of plant.

Get rid of that weed growing in there.

Looks like adult Nutsedge,which is considered a nuisance for lawns. The
fernlike appearance are actually seeds.

The seed heads do, but the foliage doesn't. (?)

Adult nutsedge does look like the picture.My neighbor has a patch that is
about 3 feet high. The leaves tend to flatten and not have the distinctive V
shape as it matures.

Carefully remore the seed part - they self sew easily - and gently put
it in a plactic bag [no holes] Then pull the rest of it and return it to
the store.

My neighbors pamas has tall stalks coming from the base. The arent any
visible leaves on the stalk.

So in you're opinion, it's not nutsedge?
