Hi, my name is Karl Foerster, but you probably know me as reed grass. I am best known for my red copper flumes which carry eye-catching tan seed heads, which add a unique vertical accent and focal point to your garden or landscape. Not only am I tall with highly ornamental fruit, I am able to last all the way through the fall and into the winter - making me a Canadian fan favourite! I require occasional maintenance, and look my best when I am cut back to the ground in late winter before my growth picks up in the spring. I have no soil preferences, I thrive in both dry and moist locations, and I am highly tolerant of urban pollution - you can plant me right in the city!

Planting trees or plants is easy! First, begin by digging a hole that's twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the tree or plant in the hole and add some bonemeal fertilizer. Backfill with fresh soil if needed and water thoroughly. Water regularly until roots are established to keep the plant healthy. Enjoy your new tree or plant!
