Over the years, Ornamental grasses have gained popularity for their use in landscapes. Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Karl Foerster' is one of the most versatile, attractive, and low maintenance ornamental grasses. It was awarded the title Perennial Plant of the Year 2001. The deep green, shiny foliage of this cool season grass appears in early spring and lasts until early winter. Loose, feathery flower inflorescences appear in June and are initially light pink in color. As the seed heads mature, they become very narrow with a golden tan color that lasts through the fall season.
We had a small space by the side of garage which was an ideal spot for this grass. While planting we combined it with a flowering perennial. But the grass outgrew itself so quickly that we had to move the perennial. The first season we could not see any blooms. But next spring the grass came out nicely growing tall to about 4 feet height having beautiful blooms.
