Phalaris arundinacea Var. Picta

Description

Phalaris arundinacea ‘picta’ is a well known variegated variety of reed canary grass, often called Gardeners Garters. It’s just as vigorous as its plain green relative and is apt to take over smaller ponds, but is again good in larger ones to provide dense cover. It does have clean variegation with pink streaks that lasts all season.

Phalaris arundinacea ‘Picta’ (variegated reed canary grass or gardener’s garters) is considered good for wildlife, particularly for providing shelter and a food source for birds and insect
