Truth about pampas grass

[kahunabean]

I read that having a pampas grass plant in your front garden meant the owners of the house were swingers. Can anyone shed light on what sounds like an urban myth. Does anyone innocently have pampas grass out front and have they had any unsolicited strange visitors ? There are a few round my way and looking at the house owners, I just don't quite believe it.....

I've never heard of this but it's made me laugh coz we moved into a house with some in the front garden!!

Only when thre's also a packet of Omo in the window!

Well I jolly well hope it's an urban myth. When I was a kid, we had one in the front garden and it was my mum's pride and joy. But I'm now questioning why I was always sent to stay with my grandparents when my mum and dad had 'dinner' parties.

I had always wanted Pampas Grass in my garden so when we moved to this house 12 years ago I planted some. Its now a very large plant .... but no swingers here !!!.

.The Urban myth yearsd ago used to be ............ Swingers had a housebrick placed on top of their wall.

I always knew there was something odd about that convent down the road.
