Calamagrostis brachytricha 'Caspian'
Choose Caspian Korean Feather Reed Grass for airy, pink-tinged plumes in late summer and fall on an upright clump that's softer and more arching than stiff Karl Foerster. The tradeoff: it blooms later, reads looser, and wants a little more moisture than the driest sites.
Buy This If
- You want upright grass with a softer, arching habit.
- You have part shade and steady moisture.
- You love late pink-silver plumes.
Skip This If
- The site bakes dry.
- You want a stiff vertical accent.
- You need winter privacy.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Feathery fall plumes over an upright clump give a strong late-season show. |
| Growth Rate | A- | Settles in at a useful pace and forms a tidy clump without running. |
| Maintenance | B+ | One annual cutback in late winter, plus steady moisture; otherwise low fuss. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely browse ornamental grasses, though they may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Upright and clumping, so it fits tighter beds better than wide, floppy grasses. |
| Screening Value | C | Adds seasonal height but is not dense or evergreen enough for real privacy. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd reach for Caspian when a customer wants Karl Foerster's upright structure but a softer, more natural look — and especially where the bed gets some shade, which this Korean species handles better than most reed grasses.

Why Add Ornamental Grasses to Your Landscape?
