Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster'
Tall growing ornamental grass, with attractive dark green foliage and feathery seedheads in summer.
My favourite new salvia for border, rose-garden or mass planting. White flowers enveloped by a royal purple calyx on a vigourous plant that"s not too big, but not too small. Grows well in large containers providing you remember to water.
