Hi, I haven't been able to find this plant that looks like a small pampas w/the white feathery grass. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks!

It does look sort of like a miniature pampas or possibly the top of a lush blooming miscanthus variety, but that picture is clearly cropped and photoshopped, so there is no telling what the original scale was or if it was in fact a real plant or artificial.

I agree about it being photoshopped, or some landscaping software used to create it. The areas around the base of all the plants looks too perfect to be real. So it gets down to probably just an artist's idea of plants that would look nice there.

So the consensus is that they are (or it is) artificial ?

Can't tell because I lose to much resolution when I enlarge it, but whether real or artificial, the image is manipulated beyond identification, in my opinion.

It does look fake but if you're looking for something similar I once grew this one (not winter hardy here unfortunately).

That's an idea! It's a common sight here and beautiful just before the seed heads develop, especially in the wind. Once it matures it reseeds all over the place. I cut off the tops before the seeds develop. It could be an easy, inexpensive experiment for a season to see if it works.

Thank you for all the responses. That would explain why I could not find this plant!
