Ribbon Grass is a decorative perennial grass. It is tough, tenacious, and bamboo-like, spreading aggressively by underground runners to form spreading, 2'-3' high clumps. Ribbon Grass has green leaves with longitudinal white stripes. Airy flower clusters are white, aging to pale brown.

Planting Instructions: 1. Dig a hole 2 times the width and 1 and 1/2 times the height of the container. 2. Set rootball at ground level. 3. Prepare soil mix of equal parts soil and soil amendment. 4. Backfill with amended soil. 5. Build Basin and water.
