Description
24-36" tall x 24-36" wide. Karley Rose is probably the most famous of the Fountain Grasses, due to its lovely plumes, which reach peak height in midsummer and persist into the fall. This beauty is useful in full sun or partial shade. Karley Rose adds dramatic effect in perennial gardens, landscaping, or wildflower meadows. Perennial Fountain Grasses are a prized group for landscaping accents, and they live up their name. They are mound-forming, creating a fountain-like focal point wherever they grow, with a spectacular bloom in midsummer. Ornamental Grasses provide texture, structure, and beauty that will set off your favorite blooming flowers. Not only a dynamic element to your garden, Ornamental Grasses are extremely easy to grow, maintain, and will provide additional interest by evolving in seasons while the rest of your garden may be dormant. Cut back foliage to the ground in late winter or spring before new growth emerges.
