Feather Reed Grass

Description

An upright ornamental grass with narrow, green foliage and tall feathery plumes from summer through winter. The plumes emerge purplish and mature to golden-brown, swaying in the breeze. Forms dense, well-behaved clumps that do not spread aggressively.

Grows to around 1.8m including the plumes. Thrives in full sun with a range of soil types. Low maintenance — cut back in late winter before new growth appears. Works well in borders, mass plantings, and as a vertical accent.

Botanical name: Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’
