Overdam Feather Reed Grass (Calamagrostis × acutiflora ‘Overdam’)

Overdam Feather Reed Grass is a variegated cultivar of Calamagrostis × acutiflora, valued for its upright form and distinctive cream-striped foliage. This ornamental grass offers both structural height and visual contrast, making it a strong addition to modern and traditional landscape designs.

This deciduous, clump-forming grass produces narrow green leaves edged with creamy white variegation, creating a bright, architectural appearance throughout the growing season. In early summer, it develops upright flower plumes that emerge with a soft purplish hue and mature to a tan colour, persisting into fall and often into winter for extended seasonal interest.

Overdam is commonly used in borders, mass plantings, and accent placements where vertical structure and foliage contrast are desired. It performs well in both in-ground plantings and larger containers, offering versatility in landscape and patio applications.
