Karl Foerster’s Feather Reed Grass
Calamagrostis
Extremely durable, undemanding and hearty, this all-purpose clump-forming grass delivers arresting accents to any garden setting.
Named for pioneering German nurseryman Karl Foerster, this selection bears loose and airy 12 in. seed heads, which tighten to slender plumes by midsummer. Rising above 2 ft. clumps of narrow green foliage, the inflorescences create an ideal semitransparent veiling effect. Plant with deep green Viburnums to accentuate its golden flowering stems.
Blooms May–January
Size: 5' 0" high x 3' 0" wide.
Hardy to zone 5.
