This ornamental grass has a clumping, mounding habit and is prized for its year-round variegated foliage. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, it thrives in temperatures down to -20°F and makes an excellent addition to borders, containers, or as ground cover. Its narrow, arching leaves feature striking cream margins with a green center, offering a vibrant contrast in any garden setting. While not noted for fall color or flowers, its elegant foliage provides consistent appeal. This deer-resistant grass prefers well-drained soil, tolerates partial shade to full sun, and requires minimal maintenance. Reaching a compact height of 12-18 inches and spreading to about 12 inches wide, it is perfect for softening edges or adding texture to a landscape design.
