    Hello forum members

    I need help with my Pampas Grass - Cortaderia selloana Pumila ( Dwarf PampasGrass) which I bought online from Gardeningexpress September 2021.

    It opened flowers last week and I had to move it to a new location which was probably a bad idea. After heavy rains of last week flowers look wornout and almost like wet but they are dry. Can you help me to identify whats the problem?

    photos are attached for reference

    Thanks for your help

    I think they just go like that in wet weather, not sure what its been like where you are but the rain has ruined a few of my plants as well.

    I’m in Worthing/West Sussex. I’ve seen other ‘larger’ pampas around the neighbour and they looked quite good. Perhaps something special to this variety?

        It's probably the shock of being moved, it's very difficult to do with any plant in flower unless they are in a pot.
