Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass

36-60" tall x 24-36" wide. 'Karl Foerster' Feather Reed Grass is one of the most famous and popular Ornamental Grasses worldwide. Rising to about 5 feet, Feather Reed Grass is famous for waving in the wind, adding motion to the landscape, even with the slightest breeze. The tall elegant feathery blooms have a subtle purple-pink color when they're new in late spring, and mature into a warm buff color. These torch-like plumes are widely used in dried flower arrangements. ‘Karl Foerster’ is at home in moist soils and tolerant of part shade, salt, and humidity. Plus, Feather Reed Grass is super winter hardy, and requires almost no care. It’s also used very effectively in large containers on patios and terraces. Leave foliage standing over winter, for habitat and visual interest. Cut back in late winter or spring before new growth emerges.
