Calamagrostis Epigejos Subsp. Rigens

Calamagrostis epigejos subsp. rigens is a striking grass species known for its tall, upright growth and vibrant fall color. Native to the temperate regions of eastern North America, it thrives in moist to wet soils along stream banks and wetlands. This ornamental grass is prized for its ability to add texture and movement to garden landscapes. Its narrow, blade-like leaves turn a fiery red or orange in autumn, creating a dramatic visual impact. While it is often used in landscaping for its aesthetic value, it also plays an important ecological role in supporting local wildlife.
