Semievergreen. This soft, velvety grass usually reaches 4 to 8" in a spreading, mat forming clump. The leaves have a very broad margin of pure white with a narrow green stripe up the center. It does not flower freely and flowers that are produced are best removed by clipping the plant with garden shears. Occasionally needs tidying. Needs sun to partial shade and well drained soil. A good grass in the foreground of a perennial border.
