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
I’m very satisfied with the plants. They look healthy and ready to make my backyard a beautiful place. This is my first time purchasing plants on line. I will definitely order again from fast growing trees.
Looking Good!
The packaging is genius. I got my plants in the ground the day they arrived which is probably key because they arrive quite dry (why ship water) and a week later they are looking strong.
