Calamagrostis is a striking ornamental grass that makes a standout addition to any mixed garden border. The cultivar Karl Foerster is especially popular for its graceful, arching foliage and its beautiful bronze-hued feathery flower heads that appear in summer. This versatile grass is a fast-growing and low-maintenance choice for gardeners, quickly sprouting each spring. Calamagrostis can be used to create a soft, feathery screen, adding both texture and movement to the landscape. It reaches a height of 1.8 meters (5.9 feet) and a spread of 50 cm (19 inches), making it an ideal plant for borders or as a backdrop in garden designs. Plant Calamagrostis into moist, but well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. Plants will be tolerate of many different types of soils, apart from very poor soils.
