SHADE TOLERANT!

• If you think all Calamagrostis are like ‘Karl Foerster’, think again!
• This Asian native is the opposite of its European counterparts: it is a warm season grass that blooms from late summer through early fall
• Perhaps best of all, this grass is shade tolerant, a rare trait for a large flowering grass
• This species occurs naturally in moist, deciduous woodlands and therefore is adapted to grow and bloom in partial shade
• Grows very well in full sun where the habit will be tighter and the flowering will be more profuse
• Calamagrostis brachytricha is a beautiful specimen plant and looks stunning in masses where its foliage and plumes are always ready to catch the slightest breeze
• Grows well in shade, tolerates hot summers, and produces pink, feathery blooms on tall stalks
• Foliage grows in a three-foot, fountain-like mound
• Grouped in masses, Korean Feather Reed Grass creates a relaxing, picturesque look in the landscape
• It is important to give Calamagrostis brachytricha a good start by watering well at initial planting and through out the first season
• Highly ornamental in the landscape
• Foliage is attractive both before and after feathery plumes emerge
• One of the few grasses that blooms in shady areas
• Complements groundcovers and shade-loving perennials
• Needs very little care once established; cut back in spring before new growth appears
• Plumes can be used as cut flowers
• Deer resistant
• Height: 3, 4-with flowers feet
• Spread: inches
