The Story

A compact variegated feather reed grass boasting slender green leaves edged in creamy white, maintaining an elegant mound under 2 ft tall.

This cool-season clumper thrives in full sun or light shade, adapts well to moist, clay, or average soils, and requires minimal care—ideal for rain gardens or mixed borders. Deer resistant and attractive to birds, it's a versatile and tidy structural addition.
