Ribbon Grass 'Strawberries & Cream'!

$19.99
This Listing: 1 Ribbon Grass 'Strawberries & Cream' (Phalaris Arundinacea) Starter Plant

Description: This cultivar or Phalaris arundinacea is called ‘Strawberries and Cream’, a reference to the surprising pink color it produces on new growth in spring and fall. Its common name, Ribbon Grass, hints at the green and white longitudinal lines that show up as the plant matures. It is a cool season grower and spreads by rhizomes. It is often used on hillsides or to control soil erosion. Ribbon Grass likes full sun; it can live in standing water and in wet soil, as well as in average soil. In June, flowers appear on long stalks above the foliage. It is best to freshen Ribbon Grass in midsummer by cutting it back. The foliage often turns tan in fall. Blooms June-September. Wonderful container plant!

Size: 2" Pot

• Quarantine: Live plants need to be quarantined before introducing to a closed system such as an aquarium or water feature. Unwanted pests and hitchhikers such as snails, larvae, eggs, are common and to be expected, unless the plant is grown in-vitro aka tissue culture/lab grown. A 1:20 ratio bleach to water dip is generally recommended for most plants; so if you want to be sure your plant is 100% sterilized against unwanted pests or algae, please perform a bleach dip, and definitely always wash and rinse plants before introducing them to any new environment. Direct Message us if you need help doing this.
