This plant is grown for its vertical impact, with dense annual foliage providing an impressive winter screen. Plant alongside other grasses of within a mixed border.
Cultivation tips: Feather Reed requires a sheltered position in full sun, but will put up with part shade. This fast growing ornamental grass will tolerate most soils just as long as they are well drained - even poor sandy or chalky soils. Mulch every 2 - 3 years and be prepared to cut back invasive roots. Cut back last years growth in winter to encourage lush new foliage.
