Cool Season Grass with Upright Growth and Golden Panicles

'Karl Foerster' is a cool season grass with an upright growth habit that thrives in wet clay soil and sunny locations. Reddish-brown to golden panicles appear from summer through fall, providing extended seasonal interest. The foliage grows 3 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, while the blooms can reach up to 6 feet tall, creating dramatic vertical accents in the landscape. This reliable performer is one of the most popular ornamental grasses for good reason.

Landscape Uses

Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass is ideal for mixed borders where it adds height and vertical interest, as a specimen plant for focal points, or in mass plantings for dramatic effect.
