Overdam Feather Reed Grass
Overdam feather reed grass is an ornamental grass with white-edged leaves. It grows as an upright clump.
In mid-summer, narrow, upright plumes grow above the leaves. The flowers have a slight pink-bronze cast which fades to tan as the seedheads ripen.
Overdam feather reed grass is shorter, forms looser clumps and tolerates more shade than Karl Foerster feather reed grass. Needs regular moisture to reach its full height.
