Glyceria maxima aquatica 'variegated'

Variegated Manna Grass

This rhizomatous perennial grass thrives in moist areas with sun to part shade. Emerging early in the Spring with young pink foliage, Variegated Manna Grass reaches about a foot tall through the season and has leaves striped in a creamy eggnog tan and bright green. Best kept contained in a pot because it will wander into other plants if left unrestrained. Hardy in zones 4-11.
