Calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Overdam'
feather reed grass
A tall, dramatic grass with an upright, architectural habit, this will stand to attention in a perennial border, or can be planted en masse as a screen. Fine leaves initially have yellow margins, which fade to white as the flowers emerge. Both the leaves and flowers turn a wonderful wheat colour in late autumn and should be left to add winter interest in the garden.
How to care for Calamagrostis × acutiflora Overdam:
