Eldorado (Calamagrostis x acutiflora ‘Eldorado’) is a showy ornamental grass with narrow, striped gold and green leaves. Forms an upright clump with tall feathery pale purple plumes that turn a wheat colour in fall. The showy seedheads persist into winter. Once established, feather reed grasses are quite drought tolerant and low maintenance. Trim them to about 4″ in early spring before new growth starts.
