Calamagrostis epigejos

by Johan Wentzel

Common Name
Bushgrass
Plant Type
Grass
The beautiful plumes of this hardy grass, Calamagrostis epigejos, makes it a good choice for mass planting. It has creeping rhizomes and prefers a damp spot.
Plant Description

Calamagrostis epigejos  can be used to great effect as part of a grassland/savannah type planting scheme. When planted en masse, the plumes make a very impressive display. Once established this grass is drought tolerant. The seeds attract some birds during the winter months.

Calamagrostis epigejos prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soils. This grass requires little maintenance.
