Phalaris arundinacea

Phalaris arundinacea, commonly known as reed canary grass, is a clump-forming perennial grass with upright, arching green leaves often variegated with creamy white stripes. It is non-flowering in the ornamental sense, with its bold foliage providing strong architectural interest in borders, wetlands, or pond edges.

The foliage provides habitat for wildlife and adds ecological value. Its vigorous, moisture-loving habit makes it ideal for damp borders, pond margins, or naturalistic plantings where tall, decorative grass and textural contrast are desired.
