Phalaris arund. 'Picta'

Phalaris arundinacea "Picta" is called variegated reed grass or canary grass in Dutch. It is a variegated, medium-sized, evergreen ornamental grass. The leaves are medium green to dark green with broad creamy white vertical stripes. Canary grass flowers from June to July with airy, narrow, light green flower panicles. This grass likes a sunny position and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. The plant is very hardy, reasonably drought tolerant, tolerates sea wind and air pollution well, has few problems with diseases and is rarely plagued by pests. However, it is a usurer, through its underground rhizomes it can spread quickly, so limiting is the message.
