Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass

Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster') is the most popular ornamental grass in the world for a reason. This award-winning perennial provides stunning architectural structure with its narrow, upright clumps of deep green foliage. In early summer, it sends up tall, slender flower spikes that emerge bronzy-pink and age to a shimmering, golden-wheat color that persists through the winter.

As a versatile member of the Calamagrostis genus, 'Karl Foerster' is a "cool-season" grass, meaning it starts growing early in the spring. Its strictly vertical habit makes it an ideal choice for narrow spaces, modern privacy screens, or as a dramatic backdrop in the perennial border. It is exceptionally low-maintenance and stays tidy without flopping. Why you’ll love it: Iconic vertical architecture, multi-season interest from golden plumes, and a rugged, adaptable nature that handles clay soil and wind with ease.

This healthy 4" live plant thrives in full sun and is a reliable, long-lived addition to any landscape design.
