Arching to form a delightful mop of shaggy ?hair?, this 6-12" dwarf will be a happy camper in border, container or at pond?s edge. S-PSh/M

It's the mophead form that gives this variegated grass its name. Arching, narrow leaves -- green with yellow edges -- form clumps to only 8-10” tall and wide, lovely draping over walls or as a bright groundcover in a moist shady spot. Useful in containers as well. Perfect for part shade to shade in rich soil with regular summer moisture. Frost hardy to -20 °F, USDA zone 5.
