| Perennial Plant of the Year for 2001. This season is incredible, clumping grass with a compact, erect growth habit. It is especially prized in the north, where the magnificent, wheat-like seed heads appear in late spring and last all season long. 'Karl Foerster' provides an excellent backdrop for lower-growing, flowering perennials throughout the year. It is also useful for screening purposes and will not be reseeded, making it a good choice for heavy clay soils. |
