Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass

Make a bold vertical statement with Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis × acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’) — the Perennial Plant of the Year winner and one of the most versatile and widely used ornamental grasses in modern landscape design. Its strongly upright, columnar habit provides a dramatic vertical accent unlike any other grass, while feathery pinkish plumes emerge in early summer and gradually turn a warm golden-wheat color that persists beautifully through winter. Exceptionally adaptable and virtually pest and disease free.
