Elizabeth on tue 6 sep 05

Anyone on the list grow feather reed grass? I bought one at last week's =
50%
off sale at a local nursery, and know nothing about it, other than it's
purty! This one has variegated leaves, and I like the fluffy seed =
heads.
Its full name is, get ready for this, Calamagrostis acutiflora =
'Avalanche.'

I'd like to know how tall it will get, how wide, and if it spreads much.

I had one and it never prospered, but it did live...not the same variety,
though.
