Variegated reed sweet grass (Glyceria maxima variegata)

Variegated reed sweet grass (Glyceria maxima variegata) is a very attractive variegated grass with striking pinkish red striped foliage in spring changing to yellow-green-cream stripes later in the year.  Smaller and less vigorous than the standard reed sweet grass but still very lively!  It produces purple-green flowering panicles in late summer and works well in its own right but really stands out against a background of darker foliage plants.Height: 60-80cmPlanting position: Marginal plant 3cm-15cmForm: 9cm potsRecommended basket size min./ideal: 5 litre square/10 litre square(Recommended basket sizes are for potting up 9cm (0.5 litre) plants only as these are supplied in solid pots.  Larger sized plants are already in aquatic baskets so can go straight in the pond, however they may need potting up or splitting at some point)
