Avalanche Feather Reed Grass

Avalanche Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Avalanche') is a stunning ornamental grass that adds elegance and texture to any landscape. This cultivar of Feather Reed Grass is renowned for its variegated foliage, featuring green leaves with bold white stripes that create a striking visual contrast. The grass forms dense, upright clumps that grow to about 3 to 5 feet in height and 2 to 3 feet in width. In late spring to early summer, Avalanche produces tall, slender flower spikes that emerge with a pinkish tinge and mature into feathery, silvery plumes. These plumes persist into winter, providing interest even after the growing season has ended. Avalanche Feather Reed Grass thrives in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to various soil types, making it a versatile addition to gardens and landscapes. It is a low-maintenance grass that requires little care once established, and its vertical growth habit makes it an excellent choice for adding height and drama to borders, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant. Additionally, its dried plumes can be used in floral arrangements, bringing a touch of nature indoors. With its year-round appeal and graceful appearance, Avalanche Feather Reed Grass is a favorite among gardeners seeking a beautiful and easy-to-grow grass for their outdoor spaces.
