Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’

Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ is a striking ornamental grass celebrated for its strong vertical growth and graceful, feathery plumes. With its ability to sway beautifully in the wind, this deciduous grass adds movement and texture to planting schemes.
