Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Overdam'
'Feather reed grass'
from £7.50
A charming, clump-forming perennial with upright stems of narrow, lilac-blue flower spikes which sometimes twist out at odd angles. The leaves are formed in whorls up the stem. Smaller, branching, lateral flower spikes also occur when in full bloom. Jul-Sep. H150cm S45cm.
Grow in moderately fertile, humus-rich, moist soil in full sun or partial shade. Excellent for providing vertical interest in the herbaceous border and useful in prairie plantings and it associates well with grasses. A magnet for bees.
Cut back at the end of the season and new growth will resume the following spring.
