Calamagrostis acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' - Feather Reed Grass (24 Pack)
The Calamagrostis acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' is an elegant, hardy ornamental grass with upright growth and fine, dark green foliage. In summer, airy purple-brown flower plumes appear, turning to golden hues that last well into winter. This low-maintenance grass adds beautiful structure and movement to any garden and thrives in nearly all soil types. Perfect as a focal point or in mixed borders!
Key Features
This feather reed grass variety delivers exceptional garden performance throughout all seasons. The upright, clump-forming habit reaches mature heights of 120-150cm when in full bloom, making it an ideal vertical accent plant. The dark green foliage provides a lush base from early spring, while the distinctive flower spikes emerge in early to mid-summer, creating dramatic architectural interest.
Karl Foerster ornamental grass is renowned for its durability and adaptability. It tolerates clay soils, sandy soils, and everything in between, requiring minimal intervention once established. Drought-resistant once mature, this grass thrives in full sun to partial shade conditions, making it suitable for various garden positions from formal borders to naturalistic prairie-style plantings.
Planting & Care
Each plant is supplied in a 9cm recyclable growing pot at 10-25cm height, ready for transplanting. Space plants 50-70cm apart for a cohesive display or use individually as specimen plants. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, this grass requires minimal maintenance - simply cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
The purple-brown flower plumes provide visual interest from June through February, transitioning to warm golden-beige tones that stand beautifully against winter frost. This extended seasonal display makes Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' particularly valuable for year-round garden structure.
Bulk Planting Benefits
This 24-plant pack offers excellent value for creating impactful mass plantings, establishing borders, or filling larger garden areas. Use en masse for dramatic drifts, as edging along pathways, or mixed with perennials like Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Sedum for contemporary planting schemes. The uniform growth habit ensures consistent results across your planting design.
