Elegant Solution for Garden Problem Areas
Why Karl Foerster Grass?
If you have a damp spot to fill or a narrow gap in your garden, Karl Foerster Grass is a tall and elegant plant to do the job. This ornamental grass will stay compact but it reaches for the sky with elegant plumes of feathery flowers. You'll get multi-seasonal interest with this towering grass.
Get vertical in your garden! Every landscape needs highs and lows to be visually interesting. Karl Foerster grass can definitely provide height as it stretches for 3 feet up to 5 or even more if it's got rich soil and plenty of water. It's a striking contrast to lower growing shrubs and annuals.
The shiny green foliage bears long stalks of soft, feathery flowers in the early spring. This cultivar blooms earlier than most ornamental grasses so it's a wise choice when you have a short growing season. The flowers emerge in plumes of pinky-purple and eventually fade to golden tan as fall arrives. The stalks stay upright, even after fading, to wave in the wind and give your garden winter appeal.

Doing great..
The experience was great. They arrived fresh and I planted same day, but 3 plants were seriously root bound. I loosed but they are not doing as good as the others. john
Perfect Plants
I purchased the box of 10 in the fall of 2023. They arrived very quickly and well packaged. I waited until now 2024 to review so they could fill in. As of current early summer, they are tall and healthy. They visually block looking that the air conditioner without blocking airflow. Very pretty and will add visual interest year-round. The golden color at the top is just starting to fill in. Would definitely purchase from Fast-Trees again!
