What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Annie Thornton to Great Design Plant: Feather Reed Grass
Distinguishing traits. Commonly described as the grass in perpetual motion, feather reed grass brings together two great architectural qualities: vertical reach and movement. The light feathery foliage ebbs and sways with any amount of wind, enabling any landscape to appear more dynamic and responsive to the forces of nature. While this grass grows to a height of 2-3’, the subtle pink foliage rosettes that appear in June can reach over 5’. By fall, the color has matured into a beautiful golden wheat hue and should remain so until snow comes, or even after. Keep an eye out now for a glimpse of its perfect tan lustre.
added by Genevieve Schmidt to 8 Ornamental Grasses for Coastal Gardens
Feather reed grass: Calamagrostis x acutiflora "Karl Foerster" is an upright, slender grass with blonde flowers (shown) from late summer through early winter. Because it reaches 4 feet tall but only 2 feet wide, it can be an effective choice against the house or near pathways where a wider plant would overtake the space. Feather reed grass needs pruning only once a year in late winter or early spring before it begins to regrow. Cut it back to a height of 5 inches tall, and it will reward you with fresh new growth come spring and summer.

I love the use of Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' around the fence! Blocks the fence and the movement of the grasses with any breeze would be very relaxing! It would also cut down on neighborhood noise!
