What is the life span of pampas grass

Question

I have 30 year old pampas grass plants that are in shade and are not performing well. Should these just come out?

Answer 1

Pampas grass prefers sun but will tolerate partial shade. I would move them to a new location if you would like to keep it growing.

Digging up Pampas grass is no easy task, but may be worth it to keep your showy plumes blooming.

I have listed a few links for you.
