Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass

Common name: Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass
Botanical name: Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster'

This ornamental perennial grass grows 4-6' tall x 1-1.5' wide and has semi-evergreen foliage that is green in spring and summer and turns green/brown in fall. The flowers look like feathery plumes; they bloom in mid June and emerge a light green but quickly turn to pink/purple. Flowers look great in a dried flower arrangement. This grass does well in full sun but will tolerate afternoon shade in warm, inland valleys. It needs regular watering and fertile soil. Great for erosion control and in wet areas.
