Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Overdam'

 

Feather Reed Grass 'Overdam'

'Overdam' is a variegated grass which has pale yellow margins and stripes which quickly fade to white. Makes a nice specimen or mass planting for a sunny, moist site, the pink-bronze summer flowerheads change colour on maturity to a wonderful, wheat colour and provide interest in the winter months.
