Built for Heat, Calamagrostis a. var. brachytricha Caspian

Posted by Emerald Coast Growers on May 15th 2025

Feather reed grasses offer some of the most recognizable and sought after flower plumes in the ornamental grass kingdom. Reliable and attractive, this easy to grow genus offers multi-seasonal beauty that makes Calamagrostis a must have element for exceptional landscape designs.

Although the rest of the genus starts the show in early spring, warm season Caspian swoops in mid to late summer with a dramatic display of big fluffy flowers. Swoon! A blooming Calamagrostis for every seasonYes, please!

Actively growing through the heat of summer, Caspian's profusion of plumage is most dense in bright sunny spaces. Both part-shade-friendly, and salt tolerant, these quick screen plants are tough and attractive for a wide variety of uses. Epic sweeps hold sturdy for multi season interest. Caspian is just as stunning as a border plant or in larger containers.

Caspian grows to four feet tall, a good versatile size. It stands strongly upright in tidy clumps and is cold hardy all the way to Zone 4.

This full figured, fat flowering, phenomenon offers gorgeous, multi-purpose blooms. The generously sized bottlebrush plumes start pale pink and mature to a bright clean white. Attractive as cut or dried flowers.


Whether you’re filling out your finished pot offering or designing a landscape, this summer bloomer is a welcome wonder. Introduce your customers to Caspian with fast to finish liners from Emerald Coast Growers – your easy choice!
