Pampas Grass in Shade

Q. I bought some pampas grass and then changed my mind about where to plant it. What would happen if I would plant it in a mostly shady spot? Would it still grow but maybe not as tall?

A. Pampas grass is a full sun plant. If you plant it in the shade, it will stretch for the light and be even taller and floppier than you anticipated. Eventually, it will die.
