Calamagrostis ”Karl Forrester”

Calamagrostis 'Karl Forester' is an excellent season grower with dark green, shiny foliage that appears in early spring and lasts until late fall. Flowers will appear in June which is earlier than many other ornamental grasses. During the early stage, they are loose, feathery and pinkish in color, then, through the summer, flowers become very narrow and gradually turning a wheaten color that lasts through the fall. The flower stems grow upright and stand up well through summer and winter.
