Cortaderia selloana (Schult. & Schult. f.) Asch. & Graebn.
The inflorescence of Cortaderia selloana is a large, dense panicle 30–70 cm long, consisting of spikelets with 3–7 florets surrounded by long, silky hairs.
In the reference 12 varieties crop Pampas grass, where this is mentioned in the description.
The inflorescence of Cortaderia selloana is a panicle that develops on tall flowering stalks. It consists of spikelets 15–18 mm long, each containing 3 to 7 florets. The ornamental appearance of the inflorescence is provided by long, soft hairs, which can vary in color from silvery-white to purple.
The plant is gynodioecious, which results in differences in inflorescence quality: female specimens possess denser and more pronounced pubescence, which remains ornamental longer than that of male specimens. Flowering occurs in late summer or early autumn, and the density and shape of the panicles are key traits when describing varietal characteristics.
