The reason I ask is some of the regular pampas grass here in zone 8 can
die back when we have a "hard" winter. (no laughing)
A buddy of my father inlaw still lives up in Mass. (USDA zone 5/6) and he
wanted to try some. I would rather get him something I expect to live.
Anyone got any info on Pampas grass in climates colder than USDA zone 8?
