Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Overdam’

A refined, upright ornamental grass forming dense clumps of slender green leaves beautifully striped with creamy-white margins. Tall, feathery flower plumes emerge in early summer, initially with a soft pinkish-purple tint before fading to warm golden tones, providing excellent structure and movement through the seasons.
