Description
Avalanche Reed Grass is a fast-growing ornamental grass that adds height, texture, and drama to Massachusetts gardens. Its tall rose-colored plumes emerge in mid-summer, rising above sturdy green and cream-variegated foliage. As fall arrives, the tan seed heads and golden stems provide long-lasting visual interest, making Avalanche Reed Grass a standout from summer through winter.
Ideal for borders, mass plantings, or containers, Avalanche Reed Grass is perfect for gardeners seeking structure with minimal upkeep. This perennial grass thrives in full sun and requires only an annual cutback in late winter. Avalanche Reed Grass is especially beautiful when used as a vertical accent or in fresh and dried floral arrangements.
