Poaceae
Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’
Feather Reed Grass
This sterile evergreen grass is one of the essentials of modern garden design. Clouds of hazy mauve flowers are carried on 180cm tall stems during early summer. These flowers, swaying with every breath of wind, slowly age to creamy beige and then to golden tan as winter arrives. ‘Karl Foerster’ needs a little summer irrigation and grows happily in full sun or light shade. The foliage mound reaches 90cm x 90cm, the flowers stems 180cm. This grass is a sterile hybrid and will not spread by seeds and nor will it run at the feet.
