Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ is a cool-season grass known for its stiff, vertical, stems topped by wheat-colored plumes. Excellent for screening, vertical accents, and hedges. It thrives in full sun but is shade tolerant. Too much shade may cause flower stems to flop. Requires medium water and prefers rich, consistently moist soil, but it is highly adaptable to heavy clay, sandy, or loamy soils. Sterile flowers. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Verticillium wilt-resistant. Cold hardy to -30°F.
