Sanguisorba & Calamagrostis plant collection

feather grass and burnet plant combination

Product Image
The brightly coloured button-like flowers of the burnet add a hit of colour and solidity to the ethereal summer sprays of the feather reed grass. This is a perfect starting point if you are creating a prairie-style planting scheme.

What's included:

In this collection you will receive one of each of the following plants. They are all supplied in a 9cm nursery pot.

  • Sanguisorba 'Tanna': Small, plum-coloured, button-like flowers top wiry, upright stems, and seem to hover above the neat mounds of blue-green, pinnate foliage. This cultivar is more tolerant of drier conditions, so is particularly well-suited to mixed or herbaceous borders. Grows to 50cm.

  • Calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Karl Foerster': A stiff, erect habit is the defining feature of this grass, named after the famous German plantsman who introduced it to the public in the 1950s. Plant it en-masse to form a feathery screen, or in small groups to add height and definition to a perennial border. It also looks good planted next to buildings. This is one of the earliest perennial grasses to get going, with shoots appearing in early spring, followed by flowers that are green first, then fade to buff. Grows to 1.8m.
  • Rate of growth:

    Fast-growing

    Soil:

    Moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soil

    • InformationThe plants in this collection will die right back in autumn, then fresh new growth will appear again in spring.
