Description

An herbaceous perennial grass with a tuft-forming habit. Hairless, slender, grey-green leaves are edged in creamy white. Pale green spikelets appear in summer, changing to straw brown colour in autumn. 

This grass increases in size with the formation of chains of yellow bulb-like swellings developing at the base of the stems. Growth is relatively slow and easy to control, however. Remove old foliage in late winter before new leaves emerge. Generally, pest- and disease-free. Deer and rabbit resistant.
