Calamagrostis x acutiflora 'Avalanche' WW32 Feather Reed Grass J1- (American Ornamental Perennials) Feather Reed Grass, Mature plant size: 5x3ft., Variegated, white central band bordered by narrow green margins , USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month 5, In Garden Bed J1 for 13 MONTHS (Menards). Planted in 2021.
Digging Dog Nursery: This distinctive newcomer is a variegated form of Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' first spotted by Steve Schmidt at American Ornamental Perennials. Showcasing dramatically striped foliage, the medium-sized clumps spring to life as a hefty white central band bordered by narrow green margins embellishes each blade. Topped with an airy aura of rose-tinged green plumes that later take on warm, golden hues, 'Avalanche's straight-up stance forges a compelling specimen, or when planted en masse, a boldly patterned screen.
