Splendor in the Feather Reed Grass--Bokeh

Closeup image of ornamental Feather Reed Grass in the late afternoon light at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Feather Reed Grass creates a dramatic garden accent, with tall, slender, vertical growth and feathery plumes of shifting bronze color that stay in place year-round. An early bloomer, it's a cool season grass that grows most rapidly in the spring season and produces notably early blooms. It is a clump-forming decorative grass, with an upward architectural growth habit, making it a dramatic specimen plant in garden or meadow. Torch-like plumes are widely used in dried flower arrangements.
