Glyceria Maxima Var. Variegata (Marginal Aquatic)

Glyceria maxima var. variegata produces decorative pink striped, strap-like foliage in spring, which matures to yellow and white as the growing season progresses. This eye-catching hardy perennial grass bears tall stems in summer topped with loose panicles of purple-green flowers. Variegated Reed Sweet-grass has a vigorous habit making it useful for creating broad stands of grassy foliage around large ponds, and associating particularly well with broad-leafed marginal plants. Height: 80cm (32″). Spread: 100cm (39″). Planting depth: Zones 2 & 3 to 25cm (10″) below water level.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Grow Glyceria in the margins of ponds with the crown submerged to a maximum depth of up to 25cm (10″) below water level. Choose a position in full sun.
