Feather Reed Grass for Sale Online

Feather Reed Grass is a visually stunning deciduous plant known for its clumping ornamental foliage. Also known as Calamagrostis Karl Foerster, this plant’s reddish-brown Spring color gradually turns golden throughout the Fall season. Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass is the most popular of the hybrid feather reed grasses sold today, and quickly grows 3 to 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide.

The cultivar name honors Karl Foerster, German nurseryman, who reportedly discovered this plant in the Hamburg Botanical Garden in the 1930s and subsequently introduced it into commerce in 1950. Feather Reed Grass grows best in rich, moist soil and blooms well in partial to full sun. This adaptable plant reportedly does well in heavy clay soils, unlike many other kinds of ornamental grasses.

We recommend planting Feather Reed Grass around landscape borders, in mass planting or urban gardens. This plant also looks great on green roofs, and planted around water gardens, pools, or ponds. Plant this ornamental grass in a planter for patios or front porches. No need to worry about wildlife - while this plant attracts birds, it is deer resistant.
