Feather Grass - Lighting Strike, 1 Pack
Calamagrostis × acutiflora - Lightning Strike
A standout variegated feather reed grass, 'Lightning Strike' features upright, vase-shaped clumps of green foliage boldly streaked with creamy-white centers that resemble a flash of lightning. In mid‑summer, delicate pink‑tinged plumes emerge, aging gracefully to golden‑wheat tones and lingering into winter to enrich visual interest. Thriving in full sun to part shade, it prefers moist yet well‑drained soils, tolerates drought once established, and is notably low‑maintenance. With its songbird‑attracting seedheads and deer‑resistant nature, this grass makes an elegant structural accent for borders, mix‑ins, and containers.
