Plant in a Box Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' - Bunchgrass

Calamagrostis acutiflora 'Karl Foerster', also known as feather reed grass, is a popular ornamental grass due to its fine growth form, beautiful flowers, and graceful leaves. The grass is recognizable by its narrow gray-green leaves that grow compactly upwards. It blooms from June to August with lovely red-bronze flower spikes that turn golden-brown in the fall. Calamagrostis Karl Foerster is hardy and summer-green. However, the golden-brown plumes remain standing in winter, making the grass a beautiful addition to the garden year-round. It is well-suited for group plantings but also stands out beautifully as a solitary specimen.

Care
Calamagrostis acutiflora prefers a sunny location but also thrives in partial shade. The grass does not like to have dry roots, so it should be watered at least twice a week during dry periods. The faded, bare stems are best cut back in March/April.
