Also known as Feather Reed Grass or Smallweed, Calamagrostis Overdam is a compact, tufted ornamental grass boasting long, slender leaves that arch out from the centre, creating a fountain-like effect. These deciduous plants are well-structured and ideal for adding height and texture interest to the garden.

The bright green leaves are variegated with creamy stripes that fade to white with maturity and form the perfect base for the tall stems of feathery pink-purple flowers that bloom from July to September. These flower stems can be left in place throughout winter to create a striking year-round focal point in the garden.

Feather Reed Grass is low maintenance and easy to care for. It is fully hardy, thrives in full sun or partial shade, and prefers moist but well-draining soil. Despite growing quickly, Smallweed only needs to be pruned annually in early spring to allow new growth to emerge.
