Foerster's Feather Reed Grass is a sterile hybrid that thrives in wet soils but can tolerate drier conditions. Handles a wide range of soil types and although it prefers full sun will do okay with some shade. Clumps are around 3 feet tall and wide with bloom stalks rising to 6 feet. In mild climates this grass can be evergreen but it is suggested to cut back hard in late winter.
