Calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' - Feather Reed Grass
.
Common name: Feather Reed Grass
Family: Poaceae (Grass Family)
Distribution: Europe
IUCN Red list: Not evaluated
Hardiness: 5a
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.
