Anoniem Verified buyerStrelitzia nicolai
Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

Veelgestelde vragen over Calamagrostis × acutiflora 'Karl Foerster'
De vragen die we het vaakst krijgen over deze plant. Staat jouw vraag er niet bij? Onze plantexperts helpen je graag.
Stel je vraagHow many Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' do you plant per m²?
In a bed, plant about 4 plants per square metre, around 50 centimetres apart. In a row as a screen you can also use 40 to 50 centimetres. The calculator on this page works out the number for you.
How tall does Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' grow?
With plumes it grows to about 150 to 180 centimetres. The leaves themselves stay lower. The clump stays narrow, so it takes up little space sideways.
Where does Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' do best?
In sun or light partial shade. It is not fussy about soil and also tolerates heavier, moist soil. In deep shade it flops open and flowers less.
Is Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster' hardy?
Yes, it is fully hardy. It is not evergreen: the leaves dry out in winter, but the straw-yellow plumes and stems stay standing until you cut them back in spring.
When do you prune Calamagrostis 'Karl Foerster'?
Cut the whole clump back to 10 to 15 centimetres above the ground at the end of February or in March. Do it before the new growth comes up, so you do not cut that off too.
