Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' is a stunning grass with a graceful habit that can be used as a specimen plant or in borders. Narrow bright green foliage forms an erect, slightly arching clump about 3 feet high by 3 feet wide. This Karl Foerster grass has feathery flower plumes emerge pink-bronze and age to a golden buff color on tall upright stalks up to 6 ft. high. Planted in a line, the tall flowers of Foerster's Feather Reed Grass create a seasonal privacy screen.
How tall and wide does Karl Foerster Grass grow?
It grows 3–5 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, forming neat, vertical clumps that stay tidy throughout the year.
When does Karl Foerster Grass bloom?
It blooms in late spring with feathery, golden flower spikes that rise above the foliage and last through fall, aging to a soft tan for winter interest.
What kind of sunlight and soil does it prefer?
Karl Foerster Grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s adaptable to clay, loam, or sandy soils and tolerates both wet and dry conditions once established.
