Where to buy dried pampas grass online

Spending more time indoors due to the coronavirus pandemic means we’re all looking for ways to spruce up our interiors, and there’s one trend in particular that’s been steadily popping up in the homes of some of our favorite Instagram accounts.

Feathery, ethereal and affordable, we’re of course talking about pampas grass.

While dried flowers were undoubtedly one of the biggest interior design trends of 2020, it’s these long, decorative stems that have really gained major traction, with more than 312,000 posts under the hashtag #pampasgrass on Instagram. It has also infiltrated other elements of our lives, appearing at product launches, decorating our favorite stores and hotels, and even becoming a favorite destination for bohemian weddings.

In fact, the herb has become so popular that some councils in England have had to issue warnings to residents not to pick pampas grass, after people were caught stealing it from coastlines and front gardens.

But why is the Pampas enjoying such a boom? After losing popularity in the 1970s when rumors spread that viewing the plant meant you were a prostitute, it has gradually found its way into our homes due to its versatility and long-lasting nature.

Not only can the plant’s neutral colors and decorative stems be easily incorporated into any interior design style, whether boho, glam, industrial or rustic, but it is also very practical. Because they are dried, pampas do not need light or water, and unlike plastic foliage, they will not harm the planet either.

If you want to give your home an Instagram-worthy makeover but are wondering where to buy the best pampas, you’re in luck. We’ve put together our selection of great places to buy premium grass now.
