Ribbon Grass
From LoveToKnow Garden
Ribbon Grass (Phalaris) - Garden grasses useful in the wild garden or beside water, where the spreading roots can do no harm. The forms commonly grown are those striped with yellow or creamy-white, and known as arundinacea variegata and elegantissima. These grow about 4 feet high, and are best in rather poor soils, but are not particular, doing well almost anywhere, and also in shallow water. The Canary Grass, P. canariensis, is a pretty annual kind, with graceful variegated seed spikes. Syn. Digraphis.
