In June, 5-foot stems rise above the foliage to display feathery plumes with an airy, light pink hue. The affect is stunning in any landscape! As the seed heads mature, they transition to shades of tan that persist through fall and can even provide delimitation into the winter months (as well as provide a tasty treat for your feathered friends).Your Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass will grow up to 5 feet tall with an 18-inch spread.
