An ornamental grass with creamy plumes of flowers in mid to late summer that also look wonderful in the garden over summer to winter. Plants grow into neat clumps of linear green leaves and send up 1m spikes of flowers in mid to late summer that droop and move around pleasingly in the wind.
Calamagrostis grows best in a wide range of well drained soils. The plants die back in winter and resprout again from the base in spring, living for many years. They tolerate drought once established but grow best with some moisture.
Pack of 100 small seeds. Sow the seeds in autumn in a greenhouse or winter/spring indoors. Germination is erratic so sow more than you need. Sowing instructions and colour photo are printed on the packet.
Grown in Cornwall
