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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutA\" id=\"pageSummary\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eMore About Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTall upright Habit\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMass planting, screening, lining, vertical accent, mixed border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant after roots get established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e'Karl Foerster' Growing and Maintenance Tips\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacing: 24-30\" for hedge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSun: Full sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: Adaptable to most soil types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater well to get roots established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePruning: Shear back to 4-6\" in late winter\/early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-5'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpread\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 2-3'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZone\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: 4-9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCalamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’Characteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eExposure\u003c\/span\u003e: Full Sun- part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSoil Moisture\u003c\/span\u003e: adaptable to most soils \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAttributes\u003c\/span\u003e: Low Maintenance, Deer resistant, drought tolerant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"attribute\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSeason of Interest (Flowering)\u003c\/span\u003e: Spring- Winter (Dried stalks hold shape for winter interest)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon (4 Pack)","offer_id":49003821727984,"sku":"Karl Foerster-1","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Gallon (2 Pack)","offer_id":49003821760752,"sku":"Karl Foerster-2","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":49003821793520,"sku":"Karl Foerster-3","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5680\/9200\/files\/karl-foerster-grass-1-jpg-webp.webp?v=1773773463","url":"https:\/\/hunterdontree.com\/products\/karl-foerster","provider":"Hunterdon Tree \u0026 Shrub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
