Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Avalanche’
at Digging Dog
Extremely tough, undemanding and hardy, this truly all-purpose grass brings bold, erect lines to the garden spectrum. Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Avalanche’ 
This distinctive newcomer is a variegated form of Calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’ first spotted by Steve Schmidt at American Ornamental Perennials. Showcasing dramatically striped foliage, the medium-sized clumps spring to life as a hefty white central band bordered by narrow green margins embellishes each blade. Topped with an airy aura of rose-tinged green plumes that later take on warm, golden hues, ‘Avalanche’s straight-up stance forges a compelling specimen, or when planted en masse, a boldly patterned screen. Zone 4/5. (PPAF)
Blooms May–January. Size: 5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 5. Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Avalanche’ (g-0469)
Each $7.75
