Pampas grasses can look spectacular, but to be honest l wouldn't plant one in the scheme you're proposing. They can form massive clumps and are PITA to maintain. I know this because my next door neighbour has one in his front garden that's been there for over 30 years. Over time we have helped him reduce it in size, it needs a close eye keeping on it. As @Dovefromabove says, it has very sharp edged leaves.
Sorry to rain on your parade. I know how frustrating it is when you've finally reached a decision and then people say "l don't think so". If you want something of a similar height, possible a stipa is the way to go. https://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/17802/stipa-gigantea/details
🥰 thanks everyone, I want to get it right and am a complete novice…. Grateful to be able to ask and get your opinions. Will look at your suggestions ❤️
