Ribbon Grass 'Strawberries and Cream' 3 Gallon

Phalaris arundinacea

This variety of variegated Ribbon Grass features an upright, spreading habit and is prized for its tricolor, green and white-striped foliage blushed with pink. In early summer, inconspicuous panicles of pale pink flowers appear. A vigorous grower, this spreading grass enjoys moist, fertile soil, and performs well as an accent plant, as a groundcover, a pond border plant, and in containers. Plant in moist to well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring as needed.
