Why Karl Foerster Grass?
If you have a damp spot to fill or a narrow gap in your garden, Karl Foerster Grass is a tall and elegant plant to do the job. This ornamental grass will stay compact but it reaches for the sky with elegant plumes of feathery flowers. You'll get multi-seasonal interest with this towering grass.
Get vertical in your garden! Every landscape needs highs and lows to be visually interesting. Karl Foerster grass can definitely provide height as it stretches for 3 feet up to 5 or even more if it's got rich soil and plenty of water. It's a striking contrast to lower growing shrubs and annuals.
The shiny green foliage bears long stalks of soft, feathery flowers in the early spring. This cultivar blooms earlier than most ornamental grasses so it's a wise choice when you have a short growing season. The flowers emerge in plumes of pinky-purple and eventually fade to golden tan as fall arrives. The stalks stay upright, even after fading, to wave in the wind and give your garden winter appeal.

Thriving in the summer heat!
I'm so happy with these! It took about 2 months for them to take root and stand up on their own. The arrived a bit limp and I was a little worried they wouldn't make it through the hot Denver summer but they are thriving! Can't wait to see what they look like this time next year! I purchased 8 - 1 gallon containers.
First time buyer!
It was the first time ordering from fast growing tree. I had a good experience. The grasses I ordered came in good condition. A little brownish but alive. I hope it’ll be the place to order all my plants in the future. Overall I had a good experience with my order.
