Feather Reed Grass Lightning Strike® 3 Gallon

Calamagrostis acutiflora

Early blooming, cool season grass perfect for small gardens or large landscape use with a slender, upright, clumping growth habit and very showy, bold, creamy-white, center striped foliage with thin green edges. Panicle, wheat-like flowers flush pink in summer and then fade to a straw color as they persist into fall and through winter. All feather reed grasses are easy to grow, deer and rabbit resistant, and provide threes seasons of interest. Combine with Coreopsis and Russian Sage. Plant in moist to well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring or fall when necessary.
