Description

This perennial grass reaches about 3' tall and wide. Leaves are glossy green with white variegation, shiny, firm, flat. Each cluster has a sharp, slender, straw-colored bract at its base, which gives it a dense spike-like structure. It does best in full to part sun with well draining soil. Apply fertilizer in spring. No pruning needed for this reliable and tough grass. Established plants are low water usage plants.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs.

If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
