Description
Variegated Reed Grass is a striking ornamental grass for Massachusetts gardens, prized for its bold rosy-pink plumes that emerge in early to mid-summer. Its fine-textured green foliage is accented with showy white variegation, adding brightness to borders and beds throughout the growing season. As the weather cools, the foliage turns golden-tan, while tan seed heads remain visually appealing through winter, making this plant a year-round standout.
Perfect for gardeners in Massachusetts, Variegated Reed Grass is heat-tolerant and low maintenance, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. Whether used as a vertical accent, mass planting, or container specimen, this perennial grass adds graceful movement and structure to the landscape. Variegated Reed Grass is also excellent in fresh or dried arrangements, offering texture and seasonal interest with minimal upkeep.
