Ornamental grasses for texture, movement, and winter interest.
Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass is a highly popular, award winning ornamental grass known for its strong vertical habit and low maintenance nature. It is also a sterile hybrid, meaning it stays in tidy clumps without spreading invasively or self seeding. Featuring deep green foliage that emerges early in spring and feathery plumes that appear in early summer with a pinkish purple tint, eventually maturing into a golden tan or wheat like colour that stays throughout the winter. Performs best in full sun, at least 6 hours daily, to maintain its upright form but can benefit from partial afternoon shade to prevent stress.
Overdam Feather Reed Grass is a variegated ornamental grass known for its striking upright habit and year round visual appeal. Featuring narrow, green leaves with crisp creamy white margins that may take on a pinkish tint in spring or under cool conditions. In early summer, it produces feathery plumes that start pinkish purple and mature into stiff, golden wheat coloured seed spikes. It is often used as a more compact, colourful alternative to the well known Karl Foerster grass. Performs best in full sun but is more shade tolerant than many other ornamental grasses.
Lightning Strike Grass brings bold vertical energy and luminous colour to refined landscape designs. Its upright, sword like foliage emerges green and gradually develops dramatic golden yellow to white striping through the season, creating a vibrant lightning like effect that stands out in garden beds and modern plantings. In early to mid summer, slender stems rise above the foliage bearing soft, feathery plumes that add movement and texture. These airy flower spikes mature to a warm wheat tone, providing lasting interest well into autumn and winter. This variety is exceptionally tidy and clump forming, maintaining a narrow, upright habit that makes it ideal for contemporary landscapes, borders, and mass plantings. Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
