Variegated Maiden Grass
Variegated maiden grass is a large ornamental grass grown for its green and white-striped leaves. The clump is narrower at the base and wider at the top, with graceful, outward-arching leaves.
Its large size and the unusual color of its leaves makes it an interesting accent plant in the landscape. If the growing season is warm enough, reddish-tan flower heads emerge in fall.
