Grass, Calamagrostis a. 'Karl Foerster'

An upright, clumping ornamental grass, this perennial thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4-9 and prefers full sun to partial shade. Growing to a height of 4-5 feet with a narrow, vertical habit, it is ideal for adding structure and movement to gardens. The plant exhibits a stunning golden tan color in the fall and produces feathery, wheat-colored plumes from late spring to midsummer, which transition to straw-colored seed heads that persist through winter. It is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, and adapts well to a wide range of soil types, thriving in moist, well-drained conditions. This grass is perfect for borders, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant, offering year-round interest and low-maintenance appeal.
