Description:
Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass
A highly regarded, upright ornamental grass that brings structure, movement, and seasonal interest to any garden. This elegant, columnar grass features tall, narrow green blades that reach 3–4 feet in height, topped with feathery, golden-brown plumes that emerge in early summer and persist into winter, adding texture and beauty to the landscape. The plumes sway gently in the wind, creating a soft, airy effect. Karl Foerster is a versatile and low-maintenance grass, thriving in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil, making it ideal for borders, mass plantings, or as a dramatic vertical accent. It’s also drought-tolerant and resistant to pests, ensuring that it remains a stunning, resilient feature throughout the seasons.
