Calamagrostis Waldenbuch
£15.00
notes
An upright architectural grass, Calamagrotis Waldenbuch is very effective in the garden year round. Clump forming, the loosely arching stems produce feathery, purple brown sprays of flowers in summer, which turn golden and last into winter. The effect of illumination in the soft evening light is really magical.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 3L
- Height and Spread: 180cm (5ft 10in) x 100cm (3ft 3in) after 2-5 years
