Care & Size Guidance
Plant in early spring to allow it to establish. Once established, the Calamagrostis x actutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ does not require any special care and will form dense clumps. it can be used as an architectural plant or to form a soft, yet dramatic screen.
Cut back in spring to about 6-7 inches to allow new growth to come through.
Although not required, an early spring application of a slow release fertiliser will encourage vigorous growth through the growing season.
Great healthy plants, well packaged and delivered well watered.
