About This Product

Karl Foerster features a tight, vertical habit making it an excellent choice for architectural impact in borders or as a screen. Its foliage remains upright, while wheat-like flowers emerge in early summer and turn golden-bronze. This sterile cultivar is highly regarded for its reliability and low maintenance in the landscape.
