Leafy Reed Grass

The Leafy Reed Grass, scientifically known as Calamagrostis foliosa, is an impressive ornamental grass. It produces upright and lush, dark green leaves which are complemented with soft and feathery flowers in summer. The showy blooms are initially green but age to a wheat-brown colour. It grows as a clump to about 30 cm tall and 60 cm wide. It grows best on a well-drained site in full sun or partial shade, though it is tolerant of a wide range of soils, barring extreme wet and dry, as well as frost, wind, and coastal conditions. The Leafy Reed Grass provides an outstanding display when mass planted, and is often planted in clusters, included in borders, used as a ground cover plant, added to a mixed planting, or planted on a bank.
