Description

Calamagrostis acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ is a popular straight upright ornamental grass with narrow green leaves that droop slightly. The decorative panicles appear around June – August and colour from white to golden yellow as the season progresses. The ornamental grass likes a place in full sun and the soil cannot be wet enough for it. Regular watering in a dry summer will therefore be rewarded. The plant is quite Hardy. Struisriet requires Requries little maintenance and is suitable for combining with many different ornamental grasses in the garden. The plumes give a playful and graceful accent to your garden.
