I'm wanting the grass that has the huge plumes on it. Is this pompus grass.? I will pay or maybe trade if I have anything you want.
Tina
Pompus Grass?
Pampas grass has the beautiful tall plumes....razor sharp leaves, and gets HUGE.
I can dig you a clump if you can't find it local....these are so large and so root heavy, that shipping would NOT be cheap. :-) You might be better off finding it some place local if at all possible.
Let me know.................

Tina,
Check at the nursery next to where you work. I thought I saw one there. Or maybe it was the nursery that has the golf carts going towards Peavine.
I hope you enjoyed the KY RU.

Linda, I did check at the one beside us. No luck. I will try the other. I want 2 clumps at each side of my drive way. I think its beautiful!!
Thanks
Tina
Thanks for the offer Mark. I may have to pay the price for beauty ;)
You just let me know Tina.....my axe and shovel are at your disposal. :-)
How ya doing at finding any of this Tina? Should I sharpen up my spade shovel and get to digging?
Can't find the kind I want Mark. I'm wanting the huge plumes and all of it around here is spindley looking. I guess you could go ahead and dig me some. Shipping shouldn't be over 20$ or so. I would appreciate it. Always means more getting it from someone you know anyway;)
Tina
I did a trade awhile back and I got two smaller clumps in the mail, so I think you could dig and cut acouple smaller clumps to be cheaper to mail for you both...........maybe!
I will get to digging tis weekend if weather holds.....I'll let ya know Tina.
Marc
Thanks Marc
It takes a couple of years for it to get as big as you want it. They will all look small at the nursery's in five gallon pots. The more you water them, the bigger they get. Don't give up on those small ones. If you put them in now, they should be a good size come spring.
Is there really a town named Peavine. I love that.
What an origional and adorable border around those evergreens!
You can never have too much texture in a landscape. I agree, Capt, looks great Gourd!
Got WAY to busy this weekend to get around to hacking at the Pampas grass Tina. I'll try again this or tomorrow evening. You want two clumps right?
no hurry Marc. You're doing me a FAVOR remember!! 2 clumps is fine
Thanks
Tina
Well I had a very dificult patient last evening so didn't get home till after dark....so I will attempt to hack at it this afternoon.
Marc
Okay Tina, I have your clumps dug.....and I have the cuts to prove it. I had forgotten how much I HATE pampas grass.
Make sure you plant it somewhere where you never have to brush against it....the blades are just that, blades and as sharp as knives.
I'll get it sent off to you on Monday next.......I don't want it/them sitting in a post office any longer than it has to.
Marc
Oh Marc I'm sorry!! I had no idea you'd get hurt in the process. Thanks so very much for your help and generosity. You are a wonderful man(no matter what your wife says;)
hugs
Tina
Oh no worries Tina....pain and blood letting are part of gardening, at least for me :-p
Your clumps went out in the mail this afternoon. You should have them by Tuesday.
If I were you I'ld plan on keeping them potted up and out of direct "winter" till Spring....unless you think there's time for them to grow in and survive the freeze.
Anyway, here they come................... :-)
Marc
Hi Tina, The Pampas grass I have looks like the picture I added. I grew them from seeds which were very easy. Would you be interested in seeds?
Kim
That is beautiful Kim!!! Is this color pink?
Yes...LOL
Tina did you get your box from me today?
Marc
I was home with sick babies today Marc but I will check 1st thing in the morning. I'll get your postage right back toya.
Thanks again
Tina
Kim I would love to try some seeds. Plenty of room around here!! When should I sow them and how?
Tina
Well Tina I wanted to gear you in the right direction to where I purchased mine. They germinated on Vermiculite for me. But I'm sure seed starting soil will be good for you. I eneded up giving away 25 plants. I sure wish I had knew you earlier this year...Soooo sorry. But here's the info.
The variety is called: Cortaderia selloana rosea

Oh I'm not worried about the postage, I was just checking delivery is all. Hope the babies feel better soon. :-0
Hey Tina,
This is Jackie, Joci's mom. I have a couple hundred of those seeds, pink and white both. I bought them to get starter plants to sell. They are still packed from the move, but I would be happy to share some with you when I dig them out. Let Joci know if you want a few and I'll set them aside for ya.
J
Marc, I got the plants. THey look great!! Will send postage out tomorrow. Thanks so very much
Hugs
Tina
Jackie that would be great!!! Just lmk how to get them. Hope to meet you here in Crossville!!!
Tina
Oh I'm glad Tina......enjoy :-)
Marc
P.S. Wear long sleeve shirt and gloves :-)
GOTCHA!
