Calamagrostis brachytricha (Achy Breaky Heart Grass)

Sun to Light ShadeZone: 5-9a 24" tall Origin: Korea

Open House/Web-Only! C. brachytricha (pronounced "breaky-tryka") forms an attractive tidy clump, 2' tall x 2' wide. In September, dozens of 2' tall, refined-looking pink plumes top this shade lover. The pink color gives way to a bronze tone that remains through the fall. Visitors who see this in flower can't leave without one. This calamagrostis tolerates hot summers and shady conditions much better than C. acutiflora. Feather reed grass is an awesome accent plant or great for dried arrangements...one of the best but least-known! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
