Calamagrostis epigejos (Small Wood Reed grass)

Calamagrostis epigejos, commonly known as Small Wood Reed grass, is a tall perennial grass that is native to Europe and Asia. It forms large clumps of arching green foliage, which turn a golden yellow in the fall. In summer, it produces elegant flower stalks that rise above the foliage, bearing feathery panicles of purple-green flowers. This grass is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions and is a great choice for naturalized areas or moist woodlands. It can reach a height of 4-6 feet and has a width of about 2-4 feet.
