This is a fine-bladed rush-like grass with green and white striped leaves. Evergreen in southern zones. Non-invasive rhizome grass. Numerous sedge-like spikes of tiny, densely-packed, yellow flowers appear in late spring to early summer, giving way to tiny reddish fleshy berries. Requires moist soil; good bog plant. Striking foliage provides wonderful color and texture for gardens. An excellent ground cover for open woods, at water’s edge, and in ponds or water gardens in up to 4" of water. Excellent for erosion control along the banks of streams and ponds. Slow to moderate growth rate. Mature height 6-12"; spacing 8-12". Zones 5-9
