Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass, also known as Calamagrostis Karl Foerster, is a visually stunning deciduous plant known for its clumping ornamental foliage. In the spring, flower heads pop out of the green leaves and look like a grain plant. These reddish-brown feathery plumes gradually turn golden throughout the fall season. These are beautiful as cut and dried flowers and last well after the frost sets in. This cool-season grass grows best in rich, moist soil and blooms well in partial to full sun. It is an adaptable plant that reportedly does well in heavy clay soils, unlike many other kinds of ornamental grasses.
