Feathered Reed Grass

Calamagrostis, also known as reed grass or feather reed grass, is a genus of ornamental grass that can be used in landscaping. These grasses are known for their tall, feathery plumes and graceful arching foliage. They provide a unique texture and movement to the landscape, and are often used as a specimen plant or in mass plantings for a dramatic effect. Calamagrostis are generally low maintenance, hardy and adaptable to a range of soils and growing conditions. They are also attractive to wildlife, providing food and habitat for birds and other creatures. Some popular species for landscaping include Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' and Calamagrostis brachytricha.
