This stunning ornamental grass displays a compact, clumping habit with arching green foliage striped with crisp white variegation, making it an eye-catching addition to any landscape. Hardy in zones 5 to 9, it thrives in full sun and adapts well to a wide range of well-drained soils. Its creamy-white, feathery flower plumes appear in late summer to early fall, adding dynamic vertical interest. As the season progresses, the foliage takes on a soft golden hue, providing beautiful fall color. Typically reaching a mature height of 3 to 4 feet (including plumes) with a similar spread, it is well-suited for borders, mass plantings, or as a specimen plant, and it exhibits moderate deer resistance. This grass is both low-maintenance and tolerant of urban conditions, making it a versatile and reliable choice for gardeners.
