Calamagrostis brachytricha

A fully hardy, deciduous and very elegant grass from Korea. A tall-ish one at around 1 metre high, forming dense spurts of deep, delicious green foliage with even taller pyramidal puffs of flowers through August, September and October. These are a lovely soft grey-green colour tinted with pink, and you can leave them on all winter as they turn a yummy fudgy brown and thrill all the hungry birds.
