Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Overdam’ is a cool-season grass known for its variegated green and white striped foliage and pinkish-purple, feathery plumes in a tight, vertical column. Excellent for vertical structure, screens, borders, and mass planting. Effective for weed suppression when mass planted due to its dense clumping habit. It thrives in full sun or part shade. Moderate water use, but drought-tolerant once established. Best in moist, well-drained soils, including clay. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Verticillium wilt resistant. Cold hardy to -20°F
