I love it! It is waving so graceful. I find it more beautiful and more elegant than the C. 'Karl Foerster' which I grew also in my garden...Read More. C. 'Overdam' is, just like C. 'K. Foerster', nice clumpforming. It is best to divide it every second or third year because it grows outwards so in the center it gets bold. Even for me, with low physical strength, the clump is easy to dig up for dividing. It roots, at least in my soil, rather shallow.

Flower heads move in the slightest wind. This variety of grass has the extra benefit of remaining intact over the winter, withstanding even our many storms off the Pacific. Cut to the ground in early spring. Easy to propagate by dividing root ball. Some of mine even thrive in part shade.
