Perennial Plant of the Year for 2001. This is a cool season, clumping grass with a compact, erect growth habit. It is especially prized in the north where the magnificent, wheat-like seed heads appear in late spring and last all season long.

Foliage has wide creamy white center stripes that are edged in green, a different twist on your typical Calamagrostis variety, late summer plumes will persist through winter if not cut back.

‘Overdam’ has variegated foliage that starts out with bright creamy-white margins which then fade to white with a pink flush. The upright clump of foliage will remain under 2’ tall. In late spring, strikingly erect, feathery plumes with sand-colored seed heads appear, reaching up to 5’ tall. ‘Overdam’ is an ideal backdrop for low-growing, flowering perennials all through the year.
