The Chelsea Grasslands of the High Line, New York, provided a wonderful display of the plumes of Calamagrostis brachytricha (Korean feather reed grass). These inflorescences will continue into the winter. This species is tolerant of a range of conditions but thrives best in a moisture retentive but well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.
