Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster'
Feather Reed Grass Zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
The Perennial Plant Association's pick of the year for 2001, 'Karl Foerster', is a very upright clump forming grass that is easy to grow in full sun and average soil. Growing 4 to 5 feet tall, it is a cool season grass so it greens up in early spring and by mid-summer, has whitish flower heads that mature to warm gold later on. Use this one where you want a strong vertical shape as a backdrop or an accent. 'Karl Foerster' may bend and sway in wind and rain but will always find its way back upright. Cat# 1255
