Reed Canary Grass (Phalaris arundinacea var. 'Picta') is a variegated ornamental grass that bears showy white-to-pale-pink flowers in June and July. This one is just beginning to grow in early spring. An engaging addition to the landscape, it can reach 4 feet in height and spread 5 feet. It does well in full sun to part shade with at least medium watering.
