Insights
The name Calamagrostis is a happy mix of the Greek word for weed and grass. It is widely indigenous across parts of Europe and Asia. An architectural ornamental grass, if planted in rows it can form a useful screen but is valued especially for adding movement to a border, catching, as it does, every breeze.
