Hardiness: 4a

Life form: Perennial plant

Comments: Feather reed grass is one of the first grasses to start growing in the spring, which is an asset in areas with a short growing season. The blossoms are held straight up and change color through the season, remaining on the plant until winter snow brings them down. The seeds are sterile, which means the plant won't self-seed and become a nuisance. Hello Spring!™ has a white stripe along the edges of the leaves.
