Her choice of foliage on the sprawling grounds raised eyebrows among her friends.
The trendy beige pampas was chosen by her to add a splash of color and a garden accessory that could blow in the wind.
Stacey revealed: “When I first started getting it, everyone said, ‘That’s what swinger’s use to let you know their house is open and ready for you!'”
After sharing her shock, she added: “I bloomin’ love ’em.”
Pampas grass was once regarded as a symbol for swingers.
It has been a popular trend in 2020 home decor, despite its popularity dropping when it was used as a way to indicate homeowners’ interest in suburban swinging.
Later, the urban myth was discredited. However, at that time, garden centre sales were down dramatically and this discouraged many gardeners.
California and Hawaii have banned the pretty plant. It is also listed as an invasive species.
