Calamagrostis brachytricha
A grass with both interesting leaves and amazing flowerheads. The leaves start off grey-green and in autumn turn golden brown. The plumes of flowers are held up to 80cm with pink tinged, white-brown flowers from August to October, persisting really well into winter, better than any other grass and also works well as dried flowers. Plant in the middle of a border to get the most out of this plant.
This grass likes any reasonable, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. It is one of the few grasses that flowers well in partial shade. Water well the first few summers when it is establishing, after that it can withstand drier soils.
