Elegant Solution for Garden Problem Areas
Why Karl Foerster Grass?
If you have a damp spot to fill or a narrow gap in your garden, Karl Foerster Grass is a tall and elegant plant to do the job. This ornamental grass will stay compact but it reaches for the sky with elegant plumes of feathery flowers. You'll get multi-seasonal interest with this towering grass.
Get vertical in your garden! Every landscape needs highs and lows to be visually interesting. Karl Foerster grass can definitely provide height as it stretches for 3 feet up to 5 or even more if it's got rich soil and plenty of water. It's a striking contrast to lower growing shrubs and annuals.
The shiny green foliage bears long stalks of soft, feathery flowers in the early spring. This cultivar blooms earlier than most ornamental grasses so it's a wise choice when you have a short growing season. The flowers emerge in plumes of pinky-purple and eventually fade to golden tan as fall arrives. The stalks stay upright, even after fading, to wave in the wind and give your garden winter appeal.

Karl Foerster Grass
It’s hard to say what my opinion of this grass is yet. It arrived well-packaged, intact, seemingly healthy, and has finally been planted after allowing it to acclimate in its original pots for a week or so; but it will take some time before I can assess how well it grows for me. I hope everyone will wait until their plants/tree/shrub has had some time in the ground and in the elements before they write reviews; otherwise reviews will be skewed greatly and will not accurately reflect the true, long-term quality of the plant—good or bad. (Attached is a photo of how it looked upon arrival after immediate unboxing. So far, so good. 👍)

Karl Forrester Grass
I would like to get another one
Just Received Today. . .
I unpacked all and watered them diligently. As always, everything was in good shape when arriving by FedEx. I won't be planting for a few days yet. I have five (5) that I previously ordered and they have been in the ground for a month or so and looking very healthy. Thank you. CC
Just arrived a week ago
Just arrived a week ago so a little too early to tell. However very healthy right out of the box( I liked that). Once the start to grow and mature I feel confident that I would probably change my review to 5 stars. Would appreciate you checking back in a few weeks. But so far, so good.
