    Ist es ein Fehler, hier Pampasgras zu pflanzen?

    Wir lieben Pampasgras und sind überwältigt, wenn wir eines sehen. Als wir das Haus kauften, habe ich hier eine gepflanzt. Es ist etwas gewachsen, aber wenn ich mir jetzt Bilder von anderen Redditoren ansehe, wird mir klar, dass ich ihm vielleicht zu wenig Platz gegeben habe. Soll ich es herausnehmen, bevor es weiter wächst? Ich habe gelesen, dass es einen Durchmesser von etwa 2 Metern hat und mir dadurch die ganze Auffahrt wegnimmt, lol. Wenn ich es entferne, denke ich an eine Kirschblüte

      I am a noob at gardening but yeah better to remove the plant now and replant it elsewhere. I wouldnt plant a tree either otherwise the roots can move the house. Trees need to be atleast 4-5 meters from a house. Just plant small perennials. Ive planted my phampus grass in thr back garden

      The neighbours will be inviting you around for hot tub parties if you’re not careful.

      Got to be honest, it just looks messy there. Go for some nice small perennials in that space imo

      If you need help digging it out I’m sure you could arrange a party with a few other couples to get stuck in together.

      We had some, it was 2+ meters round circle and up to 3m tall. It is also very sharp, so you wouldn’t want to be brushing past it.

      Giving the neighbours the right signal then the wrong one.

      Yes it was a mistake

      They get massive. You can shove it in a garden just not so close to the house in such a small assigned space, it will want to spill outwards and that’s not practical for where it is.

      At least other parts of your life will become more varied.

      That’s a big, aggressive plant and will want to spread. Restricting it’s getting is a good idea.

      Pampas grass needs it’s roots to go deep to support the structure of the plant as part of your garden.

      Swinging implications aside it’s definitely a case of wrong plant, wrong place. Spaces up against a wall like this are tricky to plant as they’re generally very dry and the soil is usually quite shallow. The best thing I can think to plant here is agapanthus, which will need watering well in the first year but should be very happy there once established.

      Yeah, that’s a grass with individual sharp-edged leaves that grow 5/7ft long with a 6ft tail flower spike and roots that could undermine your house . Ok Ina flower ber or as a focus plant in the middle of your lawn not a good border plant besides a house .

      I’d definitely move it now while it’s still small! I planted one years ago thinking it would stay bush-like, but they turn into absolute monsters. Not only will it block your drive, but the leaves are like serrated saws, trying to prune it back or squeeze past it without getting cut is a nightmare.

      You’re thinking of cherry blossom instead? With respect, what shape do you think trees are? Even above ground that would be a problem, never mind the roots.

      Agree about moving the grass though.

      Our house had a pampas grass left by the previous resident at the end of the garden. It was about 7ft tall. To get rid of it we set fire to it when it was dry then dug the roots out. The circle we cut round it was about 10ft across & 4ft deep.

      Enen now there are still traces of the bastard there. Get rid of it now before it becomes a mate.

      Small plants for small spaces. Trees and prairie grasses need meters of space all around!
