A variegated selection of the ever-popular and award winning ‘Karl Foerster’  Feather Reed Grass, ‘Avalanche’ shares many of the same characteristics as its parent but has attractive variegated green leaves with a creamy white stripe down the center. The foliage forms a neat arching clump in the garden to about 2 feet high and wide. In late spring to early summer tall stems to 5 feet high tower above the foliage bearing silvery pinkish-purple flower plumes that mature to the typical golden-tan color by late summer persisting through fall and winter. The flowers are perfect for cutting and use as accents or a center piece in dried floral arrangements. An excellent vertical and soft textured accent in smaller garden spaces or in groupings in landscape borders.

Growing 5 feet in height in flower with a spread of up to 2 feet or so, Avalanche Feather Reed Grass is ideal for use as a vertical accent in smaller garden spaces and home foundation plantings or in groupings in larger landscape spaces. A fine addition to ornamental grass gardens, white theme gardens, Asian gardens and bird and wildlife gardens.
