Harvested today, September 21st. The green-stemmed pampas grass in the image is from this year, while the white one is from last year. It will become fluffier little by little each day! It's this fluffy after a year. If shipped via Nekopos, the tips will be wrapped in plastic wrap and bent to fit the box size. The box size is 3...cm, so it will be bent quite a bit. I will try my best to bend it slowly and avoid breaking it, but I cannot be held responsible if it breaks. Please understand. The length of the plumes will be in the 50-60cm range. Please understand that I am not responsible for any damage after shipping before purchasing.
