Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass

Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis) is a popular ornamental grass known for its tall, upright form and feathery plumes that emerge green and mature to golden tan. It adds vertical interest and movement to landscapes throughout the seasons.

Thrives in full sun and adapts to a variety of soils, making it a low maintenance, drought tolerant, and versatile outdoor plant. Ideal for borders, screening, or adding structure to perennial beds.

Maintenance Tip: Water regularly after planting, then only during extended dry periods once established. Cut back foliage to a few inches above ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
