Korean feather reed grass is a graceful ornamental grass that forms upright, arching clumps with attractive feathery plumes that persist well into autumn. It adapts to a range of conditions including partial shade and average moisture, making it a versatile choice for borders, rain gardens, or naturalistic plantings. Trim clumps back to the ground in late winter before new growth emerges to keep the plant tidy.
