Weed profile: Pampas grass
Common pampas grass
Pampas grass
Cortaderia species
Pampas grass is an aggressive coloniser and has the ability to reproduce from the vast number of seeds it produces as well as from rhizomes. It is not considered an agricultural weed because young plants are readily grazed by stock and it shows no ability to establish in cropping systems. However in bush areas, once established the plant is very competitive, restricting the establishment of native trees, and can become a fire hazard and harbour vermin.
