The Variegated Maiden Grass is a beautiful and bright ornamental grass, growing up to 8 feet tall when in bloom, with a width of about 5 feet. It forms a dense clump and never spreads. The leaves arch up and over, and each one is unique, with a pattern of long stripes in shades of white, different yellows and light to dark greens. The overall effect is bright, and this grass is perfect to bring interest to your beds. It fits into all styles of garden, and is easy to grow.
The Variegated Maiden Grass should be grown in full sun to prevent it flopping, and in any well-drained soil that is not dry. Regular moisture, but not constant wetness, is best. Pests, diseases and deer leave it alone, and the only care needed is to cut it down to 8 inches tall in late fall, or late winter, depending on how much snow you normally have.
