‘Karl Foerster’ is a tough, versatile feather reed grass that flowers two to three weeks earlier than most varieties. Its tall bloom stalks start off as a reddish brown color before changing to a vibrant golden shade in fall. Ideal for borders, erosion control, mass plantings, rain gardens and pond-side planting, it creates a bold vertical effect in any setting. Its flower stalks attract songbirds and make excellent cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
