Cortaderia selloana ‘Green Goblin’

Dwarf Pampas Grass – Compact, Architectural & Gracefully Plumed

Cortaderia selloana ‘Green Goblin’ is a compact and refined form of pampas grass, ideal for smaller gardens or tighter spaces where traditional varieties would overwhelm. This ornamental grass brings a strong vertical presence, with narrow, arching green foliage and creamy-white plumes that rise in late summer and persist into winter.

‘Green Goblin’ offers all the drama of classic pampas grass in a more manageable size, making it suitable for urban gardens, containers, and mixed borders. Its plumes catch the light beautifully, adding texture and movement, while also serving as excellent material for dried arrangements.


Seasonal Beauty & Growth

Spring:

  • Fresh, narrow green blades emerge to form a graceful clump.

  • Fast-growing foliage begins to arch outward with vigour.

Summer:

  • From late summer, upright flower stems rise above the foliage.

  • Creamy-white plumes appear, adding height and lightness.

Autumn:

  • Plumes mature and retain their form, offering a striking silhouette.

  • Foliage may start to fade to pale gold, enhancing seasonal interest.

Winter:

  • Dried flower heads provide structure and movement in winter.

  • Cut back old stems in late winter to prepare for fresh growth.


Structure & Form

  • Height: 1.2 – 1.5 m (with plumes)

  • Spread: 60 – 90 cm

  • Habit: Dense, upright clump with arching, grass-like leaves

  • Foliage: Slender, green, slightly rough-edged

  • Flowers: Creamy-white plumes on upright stems (late summer to winter)


Growing Conditions & Care

  • Position: Full sun – thrives in warm, open positions

  • Soil: Moist but well-drained; tolerates dry, poor soils once established

  • Hardiness: RHS H5 – hardy across most UK gardens

  • Maintenance:

    • Cut back foliage in late winter or early spring

    • Divide every few years to refresh and control size

    • Avoid planting too deeply – keep the crown just above soil level

  • Elegant plumes – striking, soft and architectural

  • Year-round presence – from lush green clumps to bold winter silhouettes
