Pampas grass does not form fronds

The flowering time sets in late

It takes several years for the first fronds to appear on the pampas grass.

Pampas grass does not bloom until July or August, with some varieties the fronds do not form until autumn. If the ornamental grass does not yet have fronds in spring and summer, this is quite normal.

Male pampas grass barely blooms

The male specimens of the pampas grass produce few or no flowers. Perhaps you accidentally planted a male pampas grass.

You should never use pampas grass from seeds you collected yourself sowing. It cannot be guaranteed that this will result in female plants.

To be sure, either buy seeds from specialist stores or share An existing perennial. If this blooms abundantly, you can assume that the newly grown plants will also develop many fronds.

No fronds form in shady locations

Pampas grass needs light and sun to grow into full beauty. If the ornamental grass is in a shady location, it remains without fronds.

This also applies to compacted soils with waterlogging. Ornamental grass does not tolerate too much moisture. To form many fronds, pampas grass needs:

• a sunny location
• permeable earth
• no waterlogging
• sufficient nutrients

Pampas grass injured when cutting

Wrong care is often responsible if the pampas grass is left without fronds. The ornamental grass is easy to care for, but there are a few points to keep in mind if you are expecting abundant flowering.

Pampas grass may like it dry, but it shouldn't dry out completely. Pour when dry. Because of its rapid growth, the ornamental grass needs a lot of nutrients. It doesn't bloom, the soil may be too depleted. Fertilize You regularly.

Only in spring is the right time to cut back pampas grass. However, if you injure or even cut off the new shoots in the process, the ornamental grass will remain without fronds in summer.
