Karl Foerster

Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’ is one of the most reliable and versatile ornamental grasses you can plant. Known for its tall, narrow, upright habit, it adds strong vertical structure to any landscape without taking up much space. In early summer, it sends up feathery, wheat-like plumes that emerge soft green and mature to a warm golden tan, holding their color and form well into winter for year-round interest. Growing about 4–5 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, it’s perfect for screening, lining driveways, or adding height to mixed beds. Exceptionally hardy and low maintenance, Karl Foerster thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soil conditions—even heavier soils better than most grasses. Deer resistant and non-invasive, it’s a go-to choice for clean, architectural landscapes with a natural feel.

Growing 20–30 feet tall and 6–10 feet wide, it is an excellent choice for privacy screens, windbreaks, and large hedges. Its dense branching creates a thick wall of year-round greenery, making it ideal for property borders and screening unwanted views. Nigra Arborvitae thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soils, making it a reliable, low-maintenance option for both residential and commercial landscapes. More About Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' Hardy, evergreen tree Vigorous growth is perfect for privacy screen Foliage is a dark green Pleasantly fragrant Growing and Maintenance Tips Planting: Plant in full sun to partial shade. At least 6 hours of sun per day will produce the densest growth and richest green color. Prefers well-drained soil. Arborvitae do not like standing water, so avoid low areas where water collects. If soil is heavy clay, loosen the soil around the planting hole to improve drainage. Dig a hole 2–3 times wider than the root ball but no deeper than the root ball height. The top of the root ball should sit slightly above the surrounding soil to prevent settling and root rot. Apply 2–3 inches of mulch around the base to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk. In windy areas, winter burn can occur. Keeping plants well-watered in fall and using mulch helps protect roots through winter. Watering: For the first month after planting, water your tree every other day with a generous soak with the hose at the base of the tree. For the next 6 months, water the same way once a week unless it is dry and hot.  Fertilizing: Feed your arborvitae at the beginning of each spring with a balanced, slow release fertilizer. Pruning: If your tree has space to maintain its naturally elegant pyramid shape, no pruning is necessary. However, if you are growing them closely together as a hedge, you can shear them annually after the last frost.
