Korean Feather Reed Grass

Korean Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis brachytricha) is an attractive ornamental grass that adds beauty and texture to garden landscapes. This perennial grass is native to Korea and is highly valued for its elegant appearance and feathery plumes. Korean Feather Reed Grass forms clumps of arching foliage that can reach a height of about 2 to 3 feet and a similar spread. The leaves are bright green, narrow, and gracefully cascade, creating a soft and flowing effect. In late summer to early fall, the grass produces tall and slender flower panicles that are initially green but mature into a rich, purplish-bronze hue. These airy plumes persist into the winter, providing visual interest even after the growing season has ended. The grass is adaptable to various soil types, but it thrives best in well-drained and moist soils. It prefers full sun to light shade, making it an ideal choice for sunny borders, woodland edges, or mixed plantings. Korean Feather Reed Grass is low-maintenance and generally disease-resistant, making it a fuss-free addition to gardens. Its graceful form and striking inflorescences make it a favorite among gardeners who seek to create a natural and serene ambiance in their outdoor spaces.
