Calamagrostis 'Forester' is a upright ornamental feather reed grass. The gold standard of ornamental grasses for four-season landscapes — strongly upright, with feathery pinkish-bronze plumes that emerge in early summer and dry to a beautiful buff-gold that persists through winter. Thrives in full sun to part shade in moist, average soil. One of the most adaptable and reliable ornamental grasses, performing well even in heavy clay soils. Perfect as a vertical accent, mass planting, or screen in borders and naturalistic landscapes — strongly upright form provides structure throughout all four seasons.
