Calamagrostis Karl Foerster such a fantastic #grasses can be battered by rain and wind but pops straight back up as if nothing has happened 👍 early to leave up and looks stunning with summer or low winter sun streaming through it .. also goes up not out so fits in the border neatly❤️

Love this grass it's so good at staying upright and looks every bit as good in the winter too 😍. @nessas I often liken it to Roman columns in the flower bed .. daft thing that I am 😊

It is without doubt the best grass I've known Jane ... for it's speed in coming back into growth in spring . It's ability to pop straight back up after a summer storm and it's elegant upright form , I usually split mine in march after a few years as I like them nice and slim 🙂 he will love it 😍 @daisy-jane

Should I buy one or grow from seed Sam 😊

Best to buy as I don't think it's possible to get seed .. I may be wrong but I've never seen it offered as such ... I know they don't seed within the garden from the parent plant ... it's a much quicker way to a good plant to buy 🙂 @daisy-jane
