Phalaris arundinacea - Strawberries & Cream
A show-stopping variegated ribbon grass prized for its green and white-striped foliage gently blushed with pink in new spring growth—resembling literal strawberries and cream. Tall habit (60–90 cm / 24–36 in) and spreading form bring graceful vertical and horizontal structure to planting beds, with soft white summer flowers appearing atop the foliage in mid-season. This vigorous grass thrives in moist to wet soils, making it perfect for streamside borders, rain gardens, moist containers, or edging walkways. Naturally deer and rabbit resistant, with excellent adaptability to sun or part shade and tolerance of various soil types, it's a low-maintenance performer that also helps with slope stabilization and groundcover
