Overview

Korean Feather Grass (Calamagrostis brachytricha) is a graceful ornamental perennial featuring feathery plumes of silvery-pink flowers in late summer. Thriving in USDA zones 4-9, it reaches up to 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide in full sun to part shade. This low-maintenance grass prefers moist, well-drained soil. In autumn, its foliage turns golden, adding seasonal interest. Ideal for mass plantings and borders for a soft, textured effect.
